Searcher run in August 2012

Some of us (Low Cal) kayak guys are putting the notes together and throwing our heavier gear on a "stand up- rod on the rail" 5 day trip from San Diego into the badlands August 14-19th on the Searcher. It's a 5 day trip and cost $1495.  I was invited and wonder so how bad, terrible and uneventful could it be?   I have fished in kayaks with a third of the manifest so far and thought it would be a good idea to spread the love towards mi hermanos de la Norte!  I have never fished the "Searcher" before however Josh Rider aka (Yakrider) has been 3 times and swears by it along with others.  I think I read tonight that Accurate folk originally chartered the trip.   
Kayak fisherman are USUALLY cool to roll with so think about an August trip now.  Down low.  Low Cal out.

I've fished the Searcher lots of times.  Its an older boat, cabins and food are OK.
However, fishing wise it was always outstanding.  Art Taylor puts you on the fish.  I've caught my biggest albacore up to 40 lbs on that boat.

He can be hot head sometimes and was yelling at us passengers when a few anglers where not staying in front of their lines.
I usually take the 4 day trips.
