Newport - Friday Tuna Run

Fish Axe · 07-29-2008, 08:31 AM

Anyone planning a tuna run out of Newport on Friday 8/1? It looks like the water conditions will be good. How far will we have to run?

Maybe. Let's see what all that North wind does to the warm water first.

Yes, Silverfish is planning to go for tuna IF it looks like we have a good chance of getting some. We burned almost $300 of fuel last Friday for no tuna, just a nice long boat ride and a great porpoise, whale, and bird show in murky water.

Had a similiar experience yesterday out of Depoe Bay. Was out past the 125 line, warmest water was 59.3. And no fish.

I will be there....Halibut first then SW toward Heceta banks and the 65 degree water outside of there.

Maverick will be running that day, Thursday, Sat and Sun (Ladies Day!) as well. Can you say TUNA overdose?

Dad and I will be there Friday and Saturday geared up for Hali and a Tuna run if they are within 40 miles.

Looks like everyone is on the same page. Geared for Halibut with visions of long fins. Can't wait to hear the tuna reports for the next couple of days.

TUNA-TUNA-TUNA!!!

Is an overdose possible?

Whats the best guess as to how far the run will be out of Garibaldi on Sat.? Haven't ever been out @ Tillamook, But am sure ready to catch a tuna.

Pulling the plug on the Tuna dreams for this weekend. Weather (wind) and water conditions (Temp.) along with the reports for the week. I'll be sitting on the North end of the rock pile drifting for the larger flatties. Good luck to everyone!

Friday's forecast has deteriorated--but it's only Wed morning and it may change again. I'll wait till Thursday night or Fri morning to make the call of still going for tuna or switch to halibut.
