Long Range Fish Report

Searcher Sportfishing 2026 Captain Potato Head Memorial Fun-Raiser was a success! This 3-day trip ran from Friday, August 7, 2026, to Monday, August 10, 2026. For over 20 years, Searcher has sponsored the Captain Potato Head Memorial Fun-Raiser trip in honor of Dick Uranga, aka Captain Potatohead, to support pancreatic cancer research. All funds raised by the Captain Potato Head anglers are donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in Dick’s name. Searcher matches the amount raised, doubling the contribution to this important organization.

We would like to send the BIGGEST THANK YOU to all of our amazing and generous sponsors that donated to the Captain Potato Head Memorial Fun-Raiser Trip!! Without your generosity and support, this would be possible.
