late report from Barclay and Nitnat ( cell phone got left in Bamfield -doh ! )
We went out on Saturday the 22nd from Bamfield w DAK - started at north edge of Barclay once we found 60.5 water. We each got a troll hit but then nothing for quite awhile. We both kept losing the warmer water??? running west made it get colder??
Finally figured out that the temp break had moved into a triangle point further south. Once we got down to middle of Nitnat, the temp came back up to 60.8 and clear blue water. No real bird action and no bait on surface or sounder.
Got 7 of our 9 in the last 1.5 hours - but then it was 3:30 and time for the run home. I think the shifting water made the tuna spread out and not in any school activity? Sorry no pics bec all on cell phone... 3 were nice 25lbers - others were high teeners
