Careful... It's addicting

Ok ,I'll try to keep this post and people interested somewhat on back burner , but if anyone of us would want to go on charter ,usually group of 6 -10 people are sharing the boat for overnight trip I think .... and the spots are filling as we speak ..... Another friend of mine had a guy running from Oregon side 2 day trips for cheap ,but he is taking his sweet time ...... :bash:to find out the schedule and book something .
Now,Ed did you want to go too?

Post by: Ripper on March 27, 2012, 02:01:20 PM: I went out with Pacific Salmon Charters out of Illwaco last year. At least I think that's who it was. Anyway it was a terrible day, windy, rough, half the boat was puking, and everybody just wanted the day to end. We launched at 2:30 AM and by noon we had 1 fish in the boat! The skipper felt bad and kept us out longer than normal and we ended up with 3 more fish. I caught 2 of them. They said their worse day ever was 7 tuna and we only got 4. We are now the worse day ever! There were only 2 tuna boats out that day. All I can say is they try hard. We bought a couple more from the store there. Fresh tuna is the best!
