Where are you heading out of?  I would pick up a pair of Gruden's.  Sportco in Fife, carries them, if you pass by it.  If you are heading from Spokane across I-90, south on I-5 near exit 139-140, east side of freeway.

Out of Westport H20. I have heard of that brand. See them on deck hands of fishing pics, so must be pretty decent

Not sure if i'll be driving all the way, or flying with a friend who has a small plane from Renton. Depends on the weather

Harbor Saw & Supply in Hoquiam.  Depending on where you are going out of.

They don't list the rain gear on the web-site, but they sell loads of it.

Sturgeon will tear almost anything to shreds, grundens last longer than most.  If your just tuna fishing, any waterproof gear will work.  Grundens are some of the best, but may be overkill.

Google Work n More in Tukwila.  It's right on your way.

When are you going? Traveling through the tricities? If so I have pants and a jacket of grudens you can borrow to save some spending money. They are a few years old and a big size but don't leak and keep you dry and warm. You're more than welcome to them for your trip of you want.

Thanks for the offer 92, that would be awesome,  but I won't be travelling that far south.

Got some breathable waders?
Ribka cut the bottoms off an old pair and used them when we went out, worked good for him, stayed dry.

[quadrafire]

Yes but I don't want to cut them up 
I don't know why they wouldn't work, but the boat guide says "must have" waterproof bibs, and knee high rubber boots. I wouldn't mind getting my gortex waders bloody. Wonder if there is a reason they wouldn't do. They say no exceptions, and I hate to get over there and not have acceptable gear???

Don't wear anything you don't want ruined.  Tuna and tuna blood stink like crazy. Breathables or gore tex won't be good for anything other than Tuna if that's what you wear. I just wear an old set of clothes because I sweat like a whore in church when I wear grundens or helly hansen
