UPDATED January 8, 2026

Long Range — The Red Rooster III reported “Very tough fishing for us the first couple days. Lots of water covered for not much we were able to connect last night on some bluefin and woke up this morning to yellowfin and blue fin. It’s turning out to be a great trip”

The Independence just wrapped up a 5-day on some solid yellowtail along the Mexican Coast. “The bottom of the ninth inning was very good to us today. Steady good grade yellowtail. A very fun last minute finish to our Seeker Rods sponsored Xmas 5 day!” The Royal Polaris was just finishing up it’s final 5-day of the 2025 season, having found some bluefin tuna fishing, both night and day bites and finishing up along the way north with some lingcod and yellowtail action.
