We are introducing two new Tuna packages for the 2014 season that would make a wonderful Christmas gift for the fisherman in your family. What has always been the domain of the commercial fishing fleet has now been discovered by the sports fishing community. For the 2014 season, we are going to designate two fully rigged 28' to 30' Tuna boats and our most senior guides to offer two Tuna related packages for next season.
These 3-night 4-day Tuna packages will be Sunday to Wednesday or Thursday to Sunday, with only 18 packages available for the 2014 season. Included will be up to 30 hours of guided fishing, all meals, 3 nights accommodations and round trip water taxi service from Tahsis to our lodge. Both packages are based on a party of three.
Package A is a combination Salmon, Halibut and Tuna package. The drive-in cost per person is $1550.00, including tax. The fly-in cost per person from Calgary, Edmonton and Seattle, WA is $2550.00, including tax. This package offers the opportunity to fish for Tuna for one full day and the balance of the time will be devoted to fishing Salmon, Halibut and Ling Cod.
Package B is also a combination Salmon, Halibut and Tuna package with 2 full days devoted to fishing for Tuna and 2 half days fishing for Salmon, Halibut and Ling Cod. The drive-in cost for Package B is $1850.00 per person, including tax. The fly-in cost per person from Calgary, Edmonton and Seattle, WA is $2850.00, including tax.
This special offer ends December 20. Based on the information that we have received, we feel that the best time to fish for Tuna in our area will be between August 8 and September 25. In our area, the Tuna can be anywhere from 14 to 30 miles offshore. This fishery is all about ocean tides, currents, water temperatures and, most important, weather conditions. The covered 28' to 30' boats that we will be using are ideal for this exciting fishery.
The daily limit for Albacore Tuna is 15 per angler with a possession limit of 30. These amazing fish average between 20 to 25 pounds in our area. They are a very delicate fish that have to be handled properly as soon as they are boated. We have a custom vacuum packaging and walk-in blast freezer on site to insure that your Tuna, Salmon, Halibut and Ling Cod are quickly and professionally processed.
