ilwaco tuna!

We had a great time at ilwaco this weekend!

The tuna are back and biting in good numbers again.

Our overall weather was good but it did blow a bit  from the south on Monday.

The fish are moving around a bit each day and the conditions seem to be changing every day.

One day we stop on bird patches, the next we see jumpers, then no birds or jumpers and we are starting our stops on the troll , the next day they will not hit the troll but if you drop bait on sonar marks it is game on.  just keep trying till they bite.

one of the high lights from this weekend was having a school of 30+ sunfish swim up to the boat

I am looking forward to the rest of the tuna season!

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        



Thank God for bottom fish!

Last week we had to work a bit for our salmon but we were still able  to catch some nice batches of fish, this week the salmon fishing at westport was very slow. There are still some nice fish around but the king fishing is patchy at best.

I did not tuna fish this week but the reports were  very poor, most boats only catching a hand full or less and the top boats getting in the teen’s some days

The  bright spot this week has been the bottom fishing. we have had very fast action with four or more fish on at many times this week.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Westport salmon and bottom fish

The overall fishing this week was good but not great

It has been a bit windy this week and it looks like the wind might stick around for a while

There has been good morning and evening salmon bites. The mid-day lull has been a great time to go catch a few bottom fish.

Our best salmon results have been on flasher and hoochies  in 250 to 280 feet of water, our hot rigger depths have been  220 and 160.

  

 

 

 

 

 



Westport kings and bottom fish

The overall water and weather conditions were very good at westport this weekend.

There has been a good morning and night  king bite.

Our best luck is coming in 200 to 250 feet of water 150 feet on the riggers. Hoochies and bucktails are both working well.
The bottom fishing has also been good with plenty of blacks, yellow tail and lings around. Jigs and flies have been working well for the bottom fish.

we also had another bird stop by and hang out this weekend.
