Tuna Tuesday and Thursday

[WP]

Looking for running mates on Tuesday (possibly Wednesday) and Thursday. I practice what I preach and don't run to the tuna grounds without another boat to "buddy" with. I hope to leave at around 0500 and return when the boxes are full or early afternoon. I have my crew but need running partners! I know that everyone is focused on the weekend and the outstanding fishing that is going on now but....I can't fish until the weekdays! I could be talked into Monday though! Let me know guys and gals...a tuna slaughter is so sweet.

Well the forcast for this week is looking pretty favorable so far. Not sure I'll have time to make a run this week during the week. I have some friends at work who're wanting to make a trip out for tuna, and have a couple of friends in Portland coming down friday evening for a run out Saturday.

Will let ya know if I have a chance to make a run out.

I am trying to arrange the time off from work on tuesday for a tuna run. Water looks right and the seas look good. Neighbor got 52 out of pacific city in his dory I will be launching from depoe bay if I go and will have a partner with his boat. If it pans out on monday I will post and let you know what time. If you cant find runners to go with.

WP, I am ready for a tuna trip on tuesday if the weather holds out. I will be docked at south beach on A dock and ready to go on tuesday morning. 21' Rienell. I haven't fished tuna yet but with all the info on here I feel like I am already to give her ago. If it swims I can catch it. Today I couldn't handle seeing the tuna come in any longer without sampling a loin so I broke down and bought one from a commerical fisherman. Learned the art of tuna peeling from Octovio the fileter. He makes it look so easy.

Octavio and his family are great fillet folks..They have have had plenty of practice on all types of fish...........
