Emerald525 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would love to learn more about fishing in general. Just seems like a relaxing way to be outdoors. I have not pursued it because I really don't need another expensive hobby! ???? I bet being out in the water all day is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanareef Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Back in Cali used to go fishing every other week, Catalina for sea bass using live squid, Santa Barbara Is. for "barn door "Halibut from 30 to 90 ft of water, no cranking 500 -900 ft of line like in Canada, Paradise Cove for halibut, ling cod, bonita, rock bass 3-5 day trips to Mexico for rooster, blue fin, big eye and whatever is hitting I use to build or wrap fishing rods for fun and friends, place the guides and cork handle or. . . . . Always took 5 rods when going out, never knew what was out there from fly lining to heavy - lost my sea legs and don't go anymore Edited August 7, 2015 by wanareef 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czczcz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I got an open seat tomorrow.

I fish sport commercial with a group of guys out of Garibaldi regularly during the summer. Best fishery in the state - Oregon Albacore TUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fishboys Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 You go with Bud or Dave or Dick (tuna time) out of big tuna marina ?? It was rough as a cob. 22 fish by 11am and it was time to run for the barn. Small average, about 450lbs. Only 38 miles out though. Much better than the 125 line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Nice that's rare! I believe my dad is going out of Depoe tomorrow. So we will see how they do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Although kinda rare, a lot more are caught each year than you think. I only get out 3-4 times a year and I've been a part of 4 of them being caught over the last couple years. Throw iron at any flotsam and you never know what you'll catch. We hooked a thresher two years ago. Smacked a jig with its tail and it stuck. Lost it over two hours later. A few small bluefin are caught each year as well as a Opha here and there. Sightings of sailfish or marlin happen each year. One was landed quite awhile ago out of reed sport?? We caught a bunch of Jack macks yesterday. Was hoping for a big blue under them but only caught a couple 30+lbs albies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a bluefin once before but it was just a little guy. I've never see a yellow tail up here before but it's good to know they aren't quite as rare as I thought. What colors where hot when you guys were out there? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Blue and silver or white. Seemed liked they were keyed into other darker baits. Pinks didn't do anything yesterday but each day is different. Should be flat out there for you tomorrow. If you find fish trolling throw some bait and start jigging. Drift should be slow enough to get the school to follow if you keep chum in the water. Good luck and keep us posted. I could of fished today but I am getting to old for back to back trips, they take it out of this 50 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Picked up 3 halibut around Nelson island friday.. no tuna in sight tho.. saw a nice 10ft shark.. landed a ling that had a big bite taken out of it aswell.. I don't know much about tuna yet but it's next on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fish with Mark on the Long Fin, have fished with a couple boats out of BTM, never fished on Bud's or Dick's boat. 22 by 11 still sounds like a lot of fun, glad you guys were able to find some on the inside. Hoping to get out someday this week. Got restless on Saturday evening and headed for the high tide on the jetty and got lucky and stuck a ling cod. The bass bite is always pretty consistent, but fun to get into a better fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Long fin. I have heard of the boat. Did you hear about the 25ft striper that went down on the Columbia? Rick was on it as well as Wu the jig master. Scary stuff. We heard it unfold on the radio. Was a tuna tourney up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
