O.K. Confession,,,Ive returned from Van. Island. tunaless again!
Be for I left for our two week trip north ,I posted about warm water off the island and got responses from several ifishers .
Thanks you all very much.
The image I saw showed warm water due west of the Quatsino sound about 25 mles .
I fished salmon most days while I was there ,
I ask every one I talked with about tuna out the west side and noone knew anything ...
Till the day I was leaving , gasing up the truck to go ,,local starts talking about the Port Hardy boys heading out 20 miles for tuna!
The last day I fished I had a flat ocean and sensed the fish were there ,,, I just needed to point west and go .Something stopped me.
I kept remembering back the first week of July and all the cases of tuna stacked on my shelves ,,,," I have enough
tuna "a little voice kept telling me...
So with a heavy heart I trolled for salmon and got 4 nice nooks around 20 lbs.
Then killed the motor and drifted up a Halibut and a nice ling ...
I said goodby to the notherrn waters knowing I very easly could have gotten tuna .
My son and I talked about it while we drifted.
I think we were fish processing burned out .
We had processed so many fish this season we were actually relieved when we had a slow day ...No fish to deal with..
We could have done it just to say we did it ,,, but without wanting /needing more I had lost my incentive..
I report no Canadian tuna this year ...But for no other reason than lack of effort.
Am I getting soft or old or what ???
