We are looking to head out for Tuna this week. weather looks good on wind alert starting Tuesday Aug 24. just wondering if anyone else is heading out at this time. Last time I was out was two years ago as I blew one of my motors and then having a baby boy last May put fishing on the back burners.
Usually I am talking to Thomas about tuna Intel and I am so saddened by his passing this last year. I knew Thomas for 25 years and he was a great friend both with fishing and as a fellow dentist. He started his fishing career in Northern Alberta as a lake guide and he flew his float plane into tough to get to lakes. When Thomas did something he did it to the max both in learned skills and effort. I am pissied that with Covid Thomas did not get a farewell as he so deserved. It is heart warming to see you guys dedicate the Tuna thread to him. Rob Wolanski

Sirine, I feel your pain! Thomas was not only a gentleman, but one hell of a great friend and fisherman. He is missed deeply! I have been on several adventures with him, as he was my tuna coach, and got me addicted to this fishery. We have been 150 miles out of Bamfield, 100 miles off west port Washington together, rivers inlet, and WH several times. We now carry his passion with us!
we are registered in “ Bounty into the Blue” in WH sept 2nd through 6th, our team name is SMILIES PURSUIT, he was registered as well, however we have to try and do our best to fill those big shoes! There will be an off shore mamorial held on the tuna grounds with the tuna fleet for Thomas, if you or anyone else would like to join us in a final salute to such a genuine man.

Well I finally got out for my first tuna adventure yesterday and it was epic. A fellow I know in McNeil invited me as the 3 seat in his Pursuit and I was so grateful. We left from Port Alice in the dark with some coordinates he has gotten from some guide boats and about 8 oclock the fun began. The fellows I was with had only been a couple of times but knew just what to do and we ended up hooking 17 and landing 14 which was higher than I had expected. The weather was perfect, we could run both ways at almost full cruise. Lots of boats out there, I counted a dozen that I could see when there was a bit of a bite. So I'm hooked now and I knew it would happen. I guess my 2459 may go for sale and a something a bit bigger may be in my future. Thanks again to Ray and AL for making this tuna newbies dream come true

I'm doing the Bamfield tuna shootout too! Can't wait. First timer to the shoot out and Tuna fishing. Have been devouring any and all information about tuna fishing techniques on this forum and others. I'm using my Salmon fishing strategy of buying more and more and more gear.
Looking forward to learning the craft and catching the addiction.
Can anyone let me know the availability of bulk ice in Bamfield for the shootout? Was planning to load up at French Creek or in Port Alberni before we run out but would be good to know that we can resupply in Bamfield.
