ALBACORE TUNA FISHING

Our tuna trips depart out of the Port of Ilwaco.  They start off by getting live bait every morning, then heading out and acrossing the Columbia River bar.   Once across the bar, we will begin our search for temperature and water color breaks that will hold birds, baitfish and hopefully albacore tuna.  At this point, we will deploy the troll gear and begin the hunt for tuna.  After we find the fish it's time for the live bait rods to get deployed.  This is the most fun an angler can have!  It's just you against the albacore in the ultimate tug of war battle.
