Searcher Crew said: “Tuesday morning, May 19, 2026, we drove out of Fisherman's Landing on Trip #4, 3-Day Limited Load, May 19 – 22, 2026. Yesterday, we made a 100-mile move, and it paid off. We got on some big ones at night, and they were biting as good as they bite. The guys got multiple opportunities at 100+ lb. fish. So far, this has been a fun trip with tons of laughs, good food, and good fishing.”

Trip Update

Monday morning, we returned home from Trip #3, John Waggoner Charter, 3-Day Ultra Limited Load, May 15 - 18, 2026. Epic bluefin fishing continued over the weekend on John’s charter. After the guys caught what they wanted, we opted for some coastal fishing down south for the last couple of days to stay out of the weather. We checked out some new areas and scraped up a few yellowtail along with some nice variety.

Jesse and Dan prepared delicious meals throughout the trip. Some of the dishes included filet mignon with a red wine reduction, duck confit in a duck fat sauce, and chicken curry over rice, just to name a few.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll be heading back out on Trip #4, a 3-Day Limited Load trip running Tuesday, May 19, 2026, through Friday, May 22, 2026. With bluefin fishing going strong, one last-minute spot has just opened up on this trip. If you’ve been waiting for a chance to jump aboard, give the office a call or sign up online.

Searcher Crew said: “We're currently out on Trip #2, 3-Day Limited Load, May 12 - 15, 2026. Tuesday morning, we left Fisherman's Landing. The trip was off to a great start, catching our first yellowfin of the year that afternoon and had some full-speed action on bluefin after the sun went down. We've caught limits of bluefin 20-60 lbs., a few nice yellowtail, and a few nice yellowfin. It's been good fishing, good weather and good food.”
