Depoe Bay Tuna & Chinook Report 8/23/03

[Born to be Wild]

Today the charter boats Tacklebuster and Enterprise went out for tuna and along with our own Fish Assasin.

The score for the two charters was 33 tuna per boat and Mark didn't get into any tuna until he started fishing with the charters and the last they heard he had 25 tuna and was still fishing. Might update this after Mark (Assasin) comes in.

Marty talked with Jeurgan on the Tacklebuster and gave me these numbers:
45 04 and 125 08

They were about 45 miles offshore.

Tomorrows forecast is looking great at this time and Marty is going.

Chinook fishing was hot again today and the Affair got a limit again with about an 18 pound average I heard. I just saw the two or three on top of the icechest and they were real nice fish.

All three Dockside Charter boats limited out on chinook today. Will post pic's a little later.

If anyone needs to get a hold of Marty regarding tuna tomorrow you can email me or post here and I will get him the message.
