Boat Loads of tuna at westport!

We saw a bit of everything this weekend at Westport. The overall tuna fishing was great this week and the weather varied a lot,  one day it was blowing like crazy and very rough and the next it was flat calm. The fish were biting very well on both the troll and the live bait but there were still  times when we had to scratch for every bite. The tuna season is going very well right now and should continue to be good for the next month and a half. Although we did not fish for salmon the king fishing at Westport was very slow this week. The silver fishing has picked up in 90 to 140 feet of water off the north beach but there are still not as many silvers out there as there should be. The Columbia river was hot for kings this week but expect to be fishing near a few thousand of your closest friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Westport Tuna!

We are  full steam ahead on tuna from now till October. That last batch of rain that hit really slowed the off shore  king fishing at Westport and la push. There are still reports of some very nice kings being caught but not in the quantities we had been seeing. There are a few more silvers starting to show up but they are still not here like they should be. The good news is the tuna fishing has been very good and there has been quite a few big ones being caught. The highlight of this weekend was hooking a sunfish on live bait!  Those things can really fight when they want to.  It jumped way out of the water several times and put on a great show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Westport kings, Bottomfish & Tuna!

The king  fishing was hot at westport this week! lots of  mid teens to mid 20’s kings  around with a few to the mid 30’s

The silver fishing is still slow at westport but  ilwaco has been hot for silvers.

casting for bass  was very good this week, lots of willing biters  

Both westport and ilwaco have been good for tuna but weather and fog have been an issue for some.

I expect the tuna fishing to be good for the next few months and the biggest kings of the year should be passing by westport this week.
