Trip Reports

Hello anglers:

We had some nice fishing on mixed bluefin and yellowfin tuna. 

Jeannie M is new to tuna fishing. Our Lady Angler trip is the perfect time to learn and enjoy the sport with other ladies (and our terrific crew)!

Izorline pro-staffer, Wendy Toch, shows off a beauty.

Stay tuned for more from the field!

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

Hello anglers:

We are on our annual all-lady angler 3-day trip. Ladies were first greeted with MERMOSAS and gift bags, but we got down to the business of fishing right away!

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.

Hello anglers,

It’s a bit of a different day today with plenty of fish seen, but not too cooperative on the catching side. We have had a few chances in the morning but not much this afternoon. Hoping for some action in the last few hours of the trip.

Here is Capt Mike and Bob B with a nice tuna from today.

Hello anglers,

It was a great day of fishing for us today. We drifted for the majority of the day,with a chance to hook and land a nice yellowfin tuna. There were slow periods where it was tough to get a bite, but then also fast periods where it was easy to get a bite. Most importantly, lots of fun was had by all.

We are spending the night a trying again tomorrow. Here is Jack B and Justin with a nice tuna.
