Hey @Fishtofino, you still interested in trying this weekend? We are around Saturday-Monday, bringing our own boat, room for two more as I mentioned.

You said you were hoping Monday...we could do a 3/4 day Monday but would have to be back in the Harbour before 4pm to go and get to a Ferry.

Saturday / Sunday no good for you?

Tofini/ Ukee this weekend anybody
Hey there I am new to tuna fishing,been watching the tuna posts for while now starting to get geared at this point I have boat and some gear but no crew that is able to come out with me ,I am more then willing to pay my share and work my butt off if you still have room.
 
Hi all, the whole body has been quivering these days just waiting for a day to get back out. I’ll be based out today Ukee/Salmon Beach for the next couple off weeks and looking for buddy boats to head out with. What is the story with the London Canyon waters? Last I heard good waters were 80-90 miles out. Can anyone provide more details. Anyone going out this weekend? Cheers.

I think we're going to spend the night at Kaines tomorrow night and leave from there. Did you want to do the same?

Just got off the phone with Sean and we will run down the inlet with him.. But if we are faster who knows we made had to drop a line at Cliff to wait for him :) ....What are your plans heading out or waiting for him.....
 
Westport tuna Was out Monday on six pack tuna charter. Big seas. 8 ft swells. 60 miles before they wanted to bite. 62.8 F. Trolling was slow. Stopped on jumpers and used live anchovies. Did as well with a green/silver Shimano flat side jig. 112 grams than live bait fisherman. Moved from school to school when they no longer showed on fishfinder. Time was limited when they came on the bite. Last stop 6 in the boat. 3 hour run back. Good luck out there

If he's leaving P.A. in the morning, I will give him the numbers to go to and hail him once he's left Kaines
 
Looks like the tuna grounds from Bamfield to Cape Scott are going to be tested over the next couple weeks

Good luck to all of you and be safe

Look forward to all the reports
We fished down south-Haida Ridge for nothing.I guess Murphy's fished there too and blanked. Maybe back out to the west next week.

My wife and I fished with Don on the Green machine Had a great day out learning about tuna fishing. Had the 1 hook up but lost it. Looking forward to getting out again this week weather permitting. I have a few buddy’s showing up today and they are keen to try for tuna as well. My boat is
Blue and called “BEVRLE”.
 
Sounds good Jim, we hope to go either Thurs. or Fri. again, we'll stay in touch. That's only the second time we have blanked in 6 years chasing them, sorry you had to be on that trip.
