Westport Tuna Sept 22 & 23

We had an five man crew at Westport this weekend Eric C, Scott P, Don C, Wade and myself.The weather was excellent this weekend  flat calm seas and almost no wind, but we did have about 10 miles of thick  fog Sunday morning.We had a great weekend of fishing , we landed 76 albacore and had some really big ones.Although our overall results were very good, the fish were being a bit difficult this weekend.The fish were not hitting our troll gear and they seemed very boat shy, but we kept after them and finally got them to bite.

PEI Bluefin Tuna!!!!!

Wow what a trip!

Jeff N., My dad chuck and I went on the trip of a life time! This was the best fishing I have ever seen!

I knew these fish were going to be big but they looked much bigger in person then I ever thought they would!

We spent the week fishing with Spencer Norton of tight line tours I really enjoyed fishing with Spencer if you are considering a trip like this I would highly recomed you book with tight line tours

We landed fish on stand up gear every day! It was a lot of work but a ton of fun!

Our smallest fish was over 700 pounds and our biggest one was over 1,000 pounds.

It was awesome to hand feed 700 to 1000 pound fish at the edge of the boat, they were taking the bait right off the boat hook!
