As for tuna, hey that's fishing. Some days you may end up with 90-120 fish between 6 people. It all depends on how efficient you are. When the bite is on you can pile them into the boat. Other days no fish are to be found, I have gotten skunked with a 220 mile round trip run.
Been looking at doing a tuna trip out of Westport for a while now. All the boats kelly you tons of tuna. When you ask them a lot of Q’s it seem to be only3-5 fish. This has changed me wanting to do a tuna trip. So now I’ve been looking at a Halibut trip. They all go out and fish about the same. However they tell me only 1/2 the boat gets to fish and the other 1/2 watches. When they catch thief fish the other 1/2 gets to fish. So if I’m the 2nd half i might not get to fish at all. I think I’ll stick to bottom fishing wher you know you’ll get to fish with a very good chance of your limit

Ace, that's not quite how it works with halibut. Normally they will do a drift and on the next drift switch. On smaller boats typically everyone is fishing or 4/6 lines in per drift.

I disagree, it all depends on how efficient/effective everyone else is when you are splitting fish.... :rolleyes:

Talked to Tod. He’s full. Looking for someone else
That's to bad, fished with Tod a few times and he is, "The Master" when it comes to Halibut, lings, and tuna :bow:

I am booking tuna Aug 1 through sept 30 full boat is best, 4 seat minimum to reserve a date and I only bill the party leader not individuals.
I am making a list of "individuals" and the dates they want to go to see if I can group some people together but its hard to do to be honest….full boat is your best bet to insure the trip happens.

If you need more information give Kerry a call.

Contact Kerry Allen with Offshore Northwest. Two boats this season - a 28ft Parker with twin 300's and a new 35ft Coldwater with twin 300's Yamahas was added last month. It is a large walk around - so all clients fish at the same time. Kerry's number is - 253-380-9973. Starting to book pretty good. Not sure if Halibut - out of LaPush is full yet, but check with Kerry. Tuna out of Westport is definitely not full yet. It is the first year for this boat to be added to Offshore Northwest, serious sweet ride. All new rods and reels - Trasher Rods and Siegler Reels.Is this the same Coldwater that was for sale on his Float in Westport?

No, not Pat's boat... Pats was older 33ft model with twin 250's, utilized up in AK as a charter and then ran it here for several years... This is one year old NEW Coldwater..
