Anybody have a first hand report on the WA coast for Albie's!-Muddy

They've been in them inside 30miles from some of the BD reports.

Mad, thanks, Anybody have anything up to date? Out of Westport on the 18th. Thanks-Muddy

www.gamefishin.com has current fishing reports. It's a nice little site to bookmark for PMW fishing

JJ, Thanks. I see you are from Touchet. My cow ML permit is for the burn area up Blue Creek, lucky me!

I'm headed out of Westport on the 12th for tuna. I'll let ya know.

Check out Bloody Decks forum.

Mad. Thanks a bunch, Good Luck!-Muddy

Weather was a bit snotty. A low had the wind blowing to beat the band, rain, lightning, and the accompaning sea conditions. We put some tuna on the deck but worked for them.

Sounds like it was sporadic at best for most today. We ran 40+ miles out and fished hard for 17 tuna. Last week they were at 20 miles with the boat corked by noon.

Good time though!

Mad, Thanks! Hope that low moves onshore in the next 4 days, It is supposed to go from 100 today to 80 here tomorrow so it probably is. Thanks again- Muddy

Hope so as well! I'm betting you'll have great weather.

Water out there is beautiful. We had a real nice sun break mid-day and the wind laid down. Wanted to go for a swim. Nearly 66 degrees and a beautiful blue.

Who are you fishing with?

Mad. Out w/Westport Charters on the Swifty w/Cpt. Chris. One The guys I'm going with is the cousin of the owner and our bunch from Colville has the whole boat and wWe are going Tues AM. Did you bait, troll or both? Thanks-Muddy

We trolled until we got a hit then it was baits over the side. Lot of drive by hits on the troll. Only had a couple bait stops that produced.

Not a lot of life out there Wed morning. Birds were cruising, not much action on the surface. I'm sure it was the weather.

Had a hawaiian gal I work with make up a bunch of poke yesterday from a couple nice loins. Love fresh tuna!

Mad, My wife was born and raised in Lahaina, I KInow my Poke!-Muddy

I've been out of Ilwaco 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Between 3 of us, we caught 9, 11, then 23. Most fun fishing I've ever had.

Nice! It's definitely one of the most fun fisheries I've ever partaken in.

Mad. Got the call monday @5:50 AM, no fishin' tomorrow (tues). Swells at 8' and wind waves on top 4-5'. Oh well so I fished the Cowlitz yesterday in shorts and a big straw hat but no steelheads for me. Others got a few and beauty's at that. Oh well I got home today and the Chinook w/water bucket is still across the valley and ashes falling from the sky and all of my sprinklers on. Next year-Muddy

Well damn, Muddy. Next time.

Give a holler if you want to grab a beer. I live over by Gig Harbor across the bridge from Tacoma, but work from tacoma up to Marysville every week.

Went up to Vashon to see my mom on Monday, too bad I was close, next time. Muddy

Yep, I'm supposed to go monday out of Ilwaco, but looks like we'll be going for salmon instead.

That's why we called it too. Waiting for a weather break this week then it'll be Salmon and Tuna on the menu. Looking forward to winter crab. Summer crabbing was phenomenal
