Trip #15: Lady Angler 3-day (Aug 23-26)
Hello anglers
We departed on our Lady Anglers trip yesterday. We got a nice load of bait and fished this afternoon since the fish are close to home. The first two fish we landed were 35 pound bluefin tuna. Here are Sophia, pro-staffer for Seeker Rods, and Chelsea T. with their nice bluefin. Sophia landed hers on 20 pound line and a live bait, and Chelsea used a colt sniper and 30 pound line.
We had some action on yellowfin tuna as well and almost everyone landed a tuna the first day. The weather is great with light winds and no seas. Loads of swag was given out before we got to the fishing grounds.
Looking forward to tomorrow! Captain Art and Team Searcher

Tackle tip of the day is a live sardine with 25 pound line and a 1/0 hook with matching fluorocarbon. The whole group has a fish on board so far. Here is Kim B. with Capt Art and a nice yellowfin tuna. Kim landed this tuna on one of our set-ups. The set-up includes an Accurate Boss series 2 speed and a Seeker rod.

Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 62 (Lightweight Reel)
Today, we have a very special guest, Lori from Turner’s Outdoorsman. Tackle Tip Thursday is all about lady anglers and a must have reel. This is a must have for any tackle collection. The Accurate Fishing Valiant reel is excellent for all day fishing. The Accurate Valiant 500 narrow is what Lori suggests.
Trip 13: 1.5-day (Aug 19-21) Let’s Talk Hook-up
Hello anglers,
Timing is everything and ours wasn’t great today. We had tough weather conditions with wind and a swell which made it hard to work. We started in an area that was productive for several boats yesterday, and with the conditions changing, we didn’t have the same success.
So then we travelled north and arrived in an area where there were a few tuna seen, hoping for some action this afternoon. We saw a nice school of bluefin and yellowfin tuna and had some action! Everyone had a chance at landing a nice tuna. They didn’t bite very well, but we had a sample. Here is Bobby R with a hook and hand bluefin from Capt Mike.
Thanks to Pete Gray and Let’s Talk Hook-up for all the support in sponsoring this trip, and a terrific pro-staffer Patrick Gee.
