Garibaldi Tuna 8/16?

[HAMAJAM]

Is anybody tuna hunting this weekend out of Garibaldi? We're taking the Tiger out Saturday. Has anybody been out this week? Looks like the cold water is moving in, is it worth going for tuna or should we just go for salmon? We're taking out some first time fishes, and want to get them hooked.

Looks pretty lumpy for a comfortable ride, even in a 30'er:

My suggestion would be to stay close to port--ie salmon troll.

Thanks for the input Wildhawg. We planned on crossing the bar at 3 am in order to avoid the afternoon winds. The TIGER is a little more comfortable ride than most at 48' with a 16' beam, but it's never big enough on bad days.

Good luck out there Mike. Fill up those huge fish boxes. Don't be afraid to increase the width and depth of your spread with stand up gear. It all helps to attract fish.

Wildhawg, did you note the recent changes in weather forecast during the past 12 hrs? Its getting a little better, especially on Saturday!

And a little better yet towards the north. Last open weekend for Ho's. Purhaps a few bullets!!
