Charleston, OR. ~ Happy July everyone! It’s offi cially tuna time! Well, at least it will be when the weather and ocean cooperate. Sharkys Charters did an exploratory tuna trip and tied into them fast and hard with 15 tuna brought aboard using only two rods and reels. T e boys were out there for fun not numbers , and they are pretty cer- tain with a couple hand lines they could have plugged the boat full. T e fi sh were right at the 125 line in 62.4 degree water. Salmon still prove to be elusive in our area and when people call and ask about them I usually answer with “we don’t talk about those right now”. Lingcod and rockfi sh remain good to very good with the odd off day of dismal catches, remember that when a the weather changes fast and a system blows in the bite usually turns off for a day or two. We had a couple days last week where most of the rockfi sh caught were monster size and very few smalls were brought in, it was like all the big ones ate all the little ones! Betty Kay Charters had a couple stellar halibut trips last week with a lot of pounds of some of the tastiest fi sh the ocean has to off er brought on deck, great
job y’all! Crabbing
is a crap-shoot with some days good and some days off . Reports
of strings of sport pots with one or two jammed full and the rest empty seem common right now. We had been directing people out to 70-90 feet for good crabbing but that has changed lately and I can’t seem to fi nd the pattern for consistent catches yet. Crabbing in the bay is similar with some good scores and some poor ones, don’t be afraid to move that gear around to fi nd where they’re at, it changes constantly. T is month we are going to be talking about the Albacore tuna
shaped, rod bending, silver, shiny, chunks of tasty ocean bits that so many of us love to catch and eat. In fact I’ve already had two feeds of the freshest tuna possible, slow grilled over mesquite with olive oil and light steak spice. Yeah, I think we need to talk fi sh recipes one of these days. Now that the tuna are here
the local talk turns into another language and for the uninitiated words and phrases such as “blue water”, “dive boards”, “clones”, “zukers” and “hand-lines” seem strange and out of place. T e fact is you don’t have to know what these things mean to enjoy tuna, but you sure do if you fi sh for them. If you haven’t been to Charles- ton during tuna season you owe it to yourself to come down or up and see what
it’s all about.
With sport and com- mercial boats coming and going, people haul- ing plastic totes of fi sh, markets overfl owing with orders for hun- dreds of pounds of tuna at a time, commercial vessels selling directly to the public and fi sh
the fl eet will soon be chasing. T ose fast as lightning, torpedo
cleaners taking up every empty space available our town takes on

Albacore tuna are a “highly mi- gratory” pelagic species which means they move around a lot and live neither close to shore

A young man was in love with two women and could not decide which of them to marry. Finally he went to a marriage counselor. When asked to describe his two loves, he noted that one was a great poet and the other made delicious pancakes.
“Oh” said the counselor, “I see what the problem is.
You can’t decide whether to marry for batter or verse.”
