    Tuna fishing out of Westport WA questions?

    Ilwaco is not an option if the marina does not have live bait. Live bait is the fun way to catch these fish. Wolf you can most certainty catch a ride for tuna in late September and still have a blast!

    Second Shift

    It’s been a six years since I made the trip from Washington to Ucluelet with my own boat. For over twelve years I moored my boat in Ucluelet for the months of July and August, but with family demands and the lack of favorable fishing buddies my trips ended. Since then I have fished one yearly...

    NEW Lowrance Plotter/Sounder
