Title: tuna fishing ?
Post by: jackson7 on June 08, 2016, 12:44:35 AM: Hi all,
Where and when would be a good time to book a tuna charter? Does it make sense to go down to ilwaco / nw oregon versus Westport? Any recommendations for charters? Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Jackson

We were back to the dock with a plugged boat (47 tuna) by noon, right about the same time the big boats were just getting to tuna grounds. They take 6 guys on 29' Defiance boats, so its not the bigger charter boats and when things get started it can be organized chaos. I found it fun, but if youre looking to relax and fish a bit then youre better off on the bigger boats.

They started at the beginning of July and were catching fish but they werent filling boats with fish until mid-July if I remember correctly. I took my trip in late July and we had no problem filling the boat.

I've done a fair bit of fishing with Todd, you are going to have a great trip! Just make sure and get plenty of sleep the night before, he will fish you hard!
