Fishing northwest style

[SkunkBoat]

That is a mess of longfins there. Beautiful! I am so jealous of your fishing it isn't funny.

Please tell me the winter sucks and the women are hairy so I don't feel so bad.

I wish we could reach them here but longfins, yellowfins and bigeyes are 80+ miles EAST for us. We can reach bluefins but we only get one per boat.

sorry--women do not grow a winter coat--thinking of AK--LOL

Thanks guys--I have put a lot into the ole V-20 and try my best to keep her looking good.

Albacore tuna--no limit--only what you have for ice capacity--about half a tote in the forward hold and centerhold--the rest of the tote in a kill bag.

If any of you make it out this way august through September--let me know and I will do my best to get ya out for some Tuna.

What's the word ref levels of contaminents found in the fish and frequency ok to eat ?

Here on the East Coast, it's not recommended, with tuna containing high levels of " bad."

Shame, but that's what it is.

these tuna run the circle of the pacific ocean--last year the tuna were tested for radiation from the Japanese nuc plant melt down--clean--so no problem out here.

If you are fishing bottom fish-- I would not eat them out of seattle or tacomas harbors--but salmon are fine as they are just doing a quick pass through.
