Pacific Ocean: Albacore Tuna!

Greetings once again from the U.S.A. In one of my articles, I briefly mentioned the thrill of sport fishing for the spectacular Albacore Tuna in the Pacific Ocean, off the mouth of the Columbia River. In August last year, I received a phone call from a friend and local fishing guide Andy Betnar, asking if I was interested in a Tuna trip. Never experiencing this fish before, I could not decline the offer. The forecast for the ocean conditions were to be 1’ – 2’ swells at 10-second intervals. You simply cannot ask for a better ocean than that! We...

With the current season for Sturgeon coming to an end, I will focus first on some of the specifics of sturgeon fishing these waters, which is very different from fishing up river 30-40 miles. The gear: I personally prefer my “Lamiglass: brand fishing rods, which happen to be produced about 80 miles from Astoria in southern Washington State in Woodland. A medium action provides the sensitivity to feel the faintest nibble, yet enough backbone to handle a large fish, 8 – 10 feet in length...
