Howdy anglers: We are enjoying another great day aboard Searcher today! We have had some good luck fishing on very nice yellowtail up to 30 pounds. We are stopping on a kelps to get these fish to bite. Most yellows today were caught on 30-lb line with a fly-line sardine and a 2/0 J hook. Our photo today is Malea Miller of Bakersfield, CA who is fishing with her dad and brother on our Shimano-sponsored trip. Malea posed for a photo with Bootz before the trip began – and it looks like the Bootz lucky streak is continuing! The Millers and other passengers are able to try out some of the quality rods/reels, thanks to Shimano and on-board instructor, Alex Plambeck.sstrip6shimalex

Tuna fishing has been slow so far today, but we have reports of some being caught above us. Wish us luck and stay tuned right here for all the news from the field!
