I will be in Bamfield the 18th and 19th of July and weather permitting, looking for a buddy boat to hunt tuna.

Right now I have a crew ready to go that weekend and we are just waiting to see what weather and SST is looking like. We are going to be running out of Ukee to unknown canyon as of yet. If everything is a go for that weekend I will PM you, I believe Sculpin is also going to make the run as he is chomping at the bit to get out there.
I cant make that weekend. Good luck! There are some nice hard edges out there now!!! Looks good!
You are reading my mind sculpin. Yup, watching Saturday for sure.It does look good. This Saturday looks really good weather wise. I know it can change but so far it keeps improving. I'll be watching it all the way to Friday then make the call. Are you into Saturday Jay? I'm ready to roll.

I'm seriously considering a run to Nitinat Canyon. If it wasn't for there's so darn many nice kings running close to shore right now, it would be a no brainer. But with big kings around and it being early in the tuna season, it's a tougher call. Oh well, life is full of tough decisions.I'll be in touch later this week .
Anyone else thinking about taking a poke out there on Saturday?
Looks like that hard edge moved off my area and the good temps a solid 50 miles off. Not ideal for me. Looks ok off ukee/bamtown. I believe this is the product of strong NW winds for 4 days or so. All the inside waters(off shore) 0 to 30 miles out have churned and cooled. Good for salmon fishing maybe but may have just pushed that good tuna water out of reach for me here in tofino. The blowing is over so no doubt that warm edge will ever so slowly creep its way back to the 40 mile mark.
