Trip Reports

Hello angers,

We had some more action on good-size tuna again today. The group was a little slow this morning after the last two days–they are tired! The participation was light at times but everyone had a chance to land a tuna. Here is Tom K with a nice fish from this afternoon.

We are headed north tonight with hopes of trying for a yellowtail on a kelp paddie tomorrow.

We are offering a 1.5 day trip with access to the offshore scene this weekend. Trip 10 can be booked through Fishermans Landing (looks like a light load too). Take a Monday off and get out there now!

Hello anglers,

We had another great fishing day at Guadalupe Island today with plenty of action all day long. Lots of opportunities for a 50-75 pound yellowfin tuna. Live sardines with 40-50 pound line, fluorocarbon with a super mutu owner 2/0 circle hook continue to be the best choice for tackle.  Here is Norm Fujimoto with his son J.K from Izorline with a pair of nice tuna from earlier this afternoon. Norm’s other son Darren landed a couple of fish as well. 

We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow. It will be our final day here.

Hello anglers,
We are enjoying some good fishing at Guadalupe Island again this morning. There’ve been plenty of bites on flyline sardines with a 2/0 circle Owner hook and 50 pound Izorline with 50 pound fluorocarbon.

Hope the action continues and everyone’s stamina lasts! Here is long-time Searcher customer Ken R. and a nice 60 pound tuna. The weather is tremendous with sunny skies and light winds.

More later.

Hello anglers,

We had pretty good action on 50-75 pound yellowfin tuna at Guadalupe Island today! A live sardine on 40 and 50 pound Izorline and an Owner 2/0 circle hook were the method of choice. Some fish were landed using the kite as well.

Here is JK Fujimoto with a nice tuna landed using our kite outfit: a Seeker rail rod, a twin drag 2-peed Accurate Fishing Products reel, and 100 pound test leader. Hoping for more of the same tomorrow!

Hello anglers:

We decided to stop offshore based on the reports from yesterday and the weather conditions. We were trying for yellowtail associated with kelp paddies. We had some action and we did catch a few.

Here is Darren F with a yellowtail landed on one of our outfits from Seeker Rods and Accurate Fishing products. Darren, his brother and father, Izorline pro-staffer Norm Fujimoto, have been fishing with us since they were young boys!

We will be at Guadalupe Island tomorrow at daylight.

Good evening anglers,

This afternoon we stayed offshore and managed to pick up some more dorado and yellowtail. All were caught flylining live bait. Here is a picture of Michael S with one of our many nice dorados. We are staying offshore again tomorrow. Wish us luck.
