That's a nice fleet your family hasWhere are you guys staying? We are renting out some rooms at the outpost. 2 boats in our fleet, a blue 30ft ocean master, and a 22ft Hourston talk about a killer combo
What is your plan for ICE?
Well one of the boats is really well set up for tuna, the other boat tries to keep up and hold its own
Oh, you guys have the ocean sport with twin mercs? I think Mike was saying you were coming up.
Yes plenty of boats there from sept 1st onwards. We will be staying at Oli’s from sept 1st to 10th. We are rolling in the Bounty into the blue derby! Anyone who wants to tag along as a buddy boat, you are more than welcome. I believe we will be on 12 for the most part. I have installed pulpit lighting for early lift off, and feel free to join for the way out. Decent reports from the boys out on the tuna grounds this last week, numbers into the low 20s, 40 to 50 miles out. And the warm blue water should be closer in the next couple weeks. Going to be epic.
I heard from one of Olies guys that is been fantastic. That was 1st week of Aug.
herring and squid seem to work.
Thanks fella. I asked Barney, but he said that they didn't go out with you that day.
800ft and beyond. The electric reel is recommened.
Don't know about the tuna, but salmon action was great the day before yesterday. Got a few yesterday also, but it was slow for us.
awesome great to hear. The weather forecast this weekend looks iffy which is too bad!
What if it's real windy and you can't get offshore?Last year the first week of September salmon fishing was pretty tough... We couldn't even find a Coho.. This year we are not even planning on bringing the salmon gear, Between the Tuna and Black cod and other bottom fish we should be plenty busy all week
Yeah but i love your Hourston!Well one of the boats is really well set up for tuna, the other boat tries to keep up and hold its own
Pretty cheap tuna fishing in the Hourston if the water lets us fish..like 150-200 bucks a day sometimes less.
fingers crossed for bluebird days..
Totally makes sense. Sounds like salmon will be a lot better than last year, but i hear you the time goes fast cant fish everything. I'm 99% in for a quick mission this weekend. If its windy and rainy we will be at the dock enjoying beverages. I called John at coal harbour hanger and short term boat storage is only 10 bucks a day covered and inside. I will just leave my boat there and come back up on the 3rd for more fun. If anyone gets out tomorrow please LMK how you doLast year the first week of September salmon fishing was pretty tough...

Yah i have a soft spot for it too. Not a big boat but it's a great do-everything boat for me and my partner. I'd like something bigger one day but i don't think i could ever sell the Hourston it's just too versatile and economical.
That's easy sit in camp drink beer and sip gin & tonics. Might even bring the blender and make some margaritas
