Tuna fishing is really shaping up nicely out of Westport. Yesterday was my best day yet, and only 45 miles from home.
Offshore forecast wasn't great for my boat today but Mark went on the big boat and had a stellar day even closer to home. Water is beautiful, fish are acting as they should. I'm hopeful!
BTW....keep an eye out for the August Northwest Sportsman magazine. There may just be an article about some crazy fly fishers going offshore and chasing albacore.

Well an attempt was made yesterday. Unfortunately I had to limp back over the bar on my kicker after I had a water pump failure causing my main to overheat A
Made it to buoy 8 outside the bar on the Columbia. So not too far. Had to wait out the outgoing tide once we got over the bar though. The downstream flow was way too heavy to go upstream and around the jetty on the kicker. But we hung out and jigged for rockfish while we waited and got a few.How many miles did you have to cover with your kicker? I had a similar experience many years ago - I convinced my buddy boat to keep fishing while I limped in (we stayed in contact).
