TUNA

The latest news on Albacore fishing out of Ilwaco, Washington

TUNA CHARTERS

There is no set season for TUNA fishing; we fish when the fish arrive, typically in the later part of July and continuing through September.

We had some wonderful catches last year with some big fish and are expecting great fishing this year.  What great fun for everyone and the excitement of live bait when they hooked into one of those speeding bullets known as tuna.

“Upon returning to the dock there were tall tales of fishing, wildlife and water conditions. Pictures were then taken and people coming from everywhere to view the catch. We had a few bystanders who asked to have their picture with the catches. I wonder what kind of a story they told!”
