westport tuna recomendation

[onmygame]

The albacore generally run in a tropical stream that can range offshore anywhere between 8 miles and 130+ miles, depending on time of the year and specific weather patterns that vary year to year. You might have them over 100 mi out one year and only 12 miles offshore the next.

The duration of any tuna trip be it one day or more, or whether the boat leaves the morning of or the night before - depends entirely upon the distance out to the stream. Once they find the stream it is hot or miss - no guarantees, but when you do find them you are in them fast and furious.

Having several buddies who have it in their budgets to go each and every year - I do know that August is the preferred month.

As to price - I'm sure most if not all charter outfits listed above have websites with their price points posted.

Do yourself a favor and try to book a trip on Darrell Johnson's (Far Corners) Bertram that he's running along with his usaual boat. You will pay the same as Coleman but that Bertram is hands down the finest 6 pack platform in port.

The last couple years the tuna have seemed to be out aways.  The fishing for us on six packs was pretty slow, not the fault of the skipper, but if they spend hours getting to the tuna grounds you lose valuable time.  We will be doing an overnight again this year to give us more time to locate, and stay on the tuna.

I've fished with Tailwalker 3 times now 2 tuna and 1 bottomfish. 6 pack boat express day trip did really well!

Patrick is super fun to fish with!! His Coldwater is the second best platform to slaughter them on IMO.

I thought he gave up running a charter this year.

Thanks guys, Looks like the weekend of the 25th of august. Still working on details before I can book. Do you think that is getting to be to late into the season, sounds like late july, early august are the peek times?

I usually fish September and have always filled the boat. This year due to travel I’m going early August and am thinking that’s too early due to my historical limits in September.  I have fished the first week of October and still filled the boat.

He ran for Hali/Lings on Friday and will be doing it again Sunday.

Definitely not too late, great time if you can find openings. Early September can be just as good or better. If you can't get your dates in Westport, try Youngblood in Ilwaco as mentioned above. Shake-N-Bake would be my go-to but he is usually well booked by now.

Darrel Johnson with Far Corners and Mark Coleman are both great outfits.... I know both if’s them and would have no problem stepping in either one if their boats.....

Well looks like we will book a trip over the winter for next season. Everyone had plans on the week I could go. That will leave us more options for the trip. If you had a two week window to book a trip, What weeks would you pick?

Labor day weekend is the epicenter of the best fishing, imho.  As close to Labor day as you can get.
