Westport tuna and salmon

On Saturday 7-13- 13  I jumped on  board  Happy daze with Dave J, Andy M, and Jim for my first tuna trip of the year.
The overall conditions were good but the wind did kick up a bit in the after noon
The tuna fishing was very good we caught 43 tuna and the average size was very nice also. We were able to catch some fish on clones, spreader bars,  x raps, and swim baits but most of our fish were caught on live bait.
On Sunday I switched gears and went salmon fishing on the Relentless with Mark A , Jacob A, Dave B and Cory B.
The overall salmon fishing was good but not great. The kings were much easier for us  to find then the silvers but we worked  hard at it and were able to  came back  in with our limits of both  kings and hatchery silvers.
We did our best on a combination of herring and buck tails trolled in the top 100 feet  in  140 to 180 feet of water The morning and evening bites seemed to be the best with the middle of the day a bit on the slow side.
