| Westport, Washington Albacore Tuna  Yes! This fish requires a 12-14 wt! Most people in the PNW aren't aware that these solid muscle torpedo's reside for several months just off the Oregon and Washington coast. It doesn't require a trip to Mexico to utilize your big saltwater gear, just a short jaunt out west. Most of the fish caught are between 15 and 25 pounds with a few slightly smaller and some that are bigger. Either end of the scale, these fish put up a fight that rivals any fish their size in the ocean.  These trips begin by arriving at a decent hour in the evening in Westport for a late dinner and final prep for boarding the boat. We board at 10pm the evening of departure, sleep on the boat while we cruise out about 60-80 miles. When we awaken at dawn, we are immediately ready to begin hitting the water with teasers and then live bait to bring the fish to the surface. We fish until dark that day and then begin our return to port, usually arriving around 2 am. That evening, angler may sleep on the boat again or hit the road for home immediately. The boat we are using is a 48ft. commercial vessel, USCG approved, owned and operated by Capt. Westrick with over 30 years experience out of Westport. The boat has sleeping space for 6-7 anglers, the same number we allow on each trip.  We will be hosting 3 trips in 2008 at least. The current trips we have scheduled are: Aug. 19-21, 2008 -- 6 rods open Sept. 9-11, 2008 -- 6 rods open Sept. 23-25, 2008 -- 6 rods open Please contact us with any questions you may have. We will have more firm dates here soon. Clothing and equipment checklist -- Summer Pricing:
