Love fishing, fresh or salt, military background Army and Coast Guard, so fished a few different spots, NY inland and Atlantic to Cuba OKla, all over Tx MS and WY now the NW salmon steelhead sturgeon thing but really don’t care if its perch out of roadside ditches or blood bait trot lines like it all. Haven’t gotten to go in a while but makin up for it with month of tuna and maybe some halibut off the Washington coast never been but they run some 45 to 60 miles out, learned some new knots for it Alberto knot for one. Anyone with experience and tips would be welcome, private boat we’re going for it off of inter web info

Well, Shutupandfish: got a long handle and a lot of experience. You have come to the right place, both for bull, jokes, and sound advice. Sometimes it takes an expert to tell the difference. Just Sayin...RJS

Good luck and thank you for your service. As someone with CG experience I don’t need to tell you about boat safety but when we head offshore we leave a detailed plan of where we are going just in case. Weather is the next concern. Have fun and be safe. We need some pics when you get back.

Yeah the Coast Guard has its rough water training school here for a reason, the Columbia river bar is supposedly one of the deadliest waters in the U.S.

I read somewhere that they will lead the boats out or back in when the tides and currents are running really strong. At least I think I did.

Weather, weather, weather. If you tie into some pacific halibuts, be prepared to dispatch them prior to bringing them aboard. They can do real damage flopping around. Maybe gun play. Good luck.

Welcome shutup. Have a great trip
Had sone great east coast tuna trips myself. Caught a 208# bigeye, several 120-150 lb. Yellowfin. And number of small bluefin and albies. Still rate as my best fishing trips.
