Bamfield tuna shootout!!! September 22 - october 1

[harper44]

I don't think the forcast could possibly look any better for this weekend. And if the extended forcast rings true, there is a blow from the west coming early next week that might help us out when it calms down! But maybe i'm getting a little ahead of myself, just so excited!

I would say most of them are in that size range and larger. Bigger is better in this fishery IMO and I will be upgrading as soon as finacially possible. Mines 23 with the pod it's 25. I'm probably one of the smaller boats. Mine has self bailing decks, water tight bulkheads, a 105 gal. fuel tank, and literally built like a tank . FB's buddy is running a 22' North River with a pod so close to that length but physically larger than mine (i.e deeper sides and wider beam).

Today and tomorrow look totally flat out there with very low chance of the wind coming up. It sure looks like they picked the right night for an over nighter. I sure hope they try for some humbolts in the wee hours of the morn. That would be really cool!

Do they do a watch system at night or just put out a sea anchor and drift and hope for the best? Man I don't think I would get much sleep!!!

I think they always have one or two awake and just take turns having naps. I don't think I could sleep either and would be fishing for interesting critters to kill the time lol.
