121 Albacore at Westport


We had a five man crew at Westport this weekend
The overall weather and water condition were very good.
On Saturday things started off very slow, no fish for the first two hours but as the day went on things really picked up  
The mid-day bite was very good we were able to land 46 tuna on a combination of troll gear and bait before the bite died again in the evening.

Sunday we had two first time tuna anglers on the boat and they picked the right day to start!
The fishing was smoking hot and stayed that way all day, we hit a bird patch  on the way out and put 35 fish on the boat on our very first stop! We drifting over 2 miles on that stop and spent the rest of the day trying to troll back to our start point. The fishing was so good that we did not make it back to our start point till it was time for us to head in to beat the ebb. We left a wide open bite  at 4pm to end our day with 75 fish in the box
( I will probably be having night mares about that for the rest of my life!)

 The fish were biting both the live bait and the troll very, very well, the troll bite was so good that at one point we hooked  up all five of our troll rods at the same time

Live bait, x raps and cedar plugs were all working very well this weekend.
