I've spent way too much time today daydreaming about fishing and reading the forum. There are some excellent posts on Tuna fishing on the board. I'm interested in who has done it.
I am somewhat new to boating out here in the west and have only been as far as Renfrew in my own boat. As I understand it, to find Tuna, you have to hit the 60 degree water which can be 10-30 miles off shore (or more) in the summer. A tuna hunting trip is a dream-trip of mine, but I have no idea what to expect from the waters out that far. Of course, we are always subject to a good blow-up out there but would like to hear from guys that might have taken their own sporty boats out for Tuna in the summer.
What are the conditions like out that far in our waters. Is a 19' Striper enough boat or is that a trip better suited to a bigger boat?
