Title: Tuna report
Post by: Brushcrawler on August 29, 2019, 10:53:20 AM: Trip report from Westport this Monday. My son and I fished with Far Corners, first time out with these guys. Captain and deckhand worked hard for us all day in fairly rough conditions. They were really good about giving advice but letting us do the fishing. We ended up with plenty of tuna (around 30 for 5 of us) and had a couple of stops with everyone hooked up and fish eating baits right at the boat. Great trip and quality outfit. Year’s supply of loins in the freezer to supplement our elk and deer. If you have never tried albacore fishing, you should do it at least once!

We put 70 on the boat. 60 of them came in an epic 3 hr bait stop to end the day, the screen was lit up with fish when we left, caught a couple on jigs as we were running out of bait. Thanks benhunting for taking those seats, made the trip that much better.
