Tuna Fishing Vancouver Island (2017)
Tuna Fishing Winter Harbour starts in late August. Space is limited because of short season. Winter Harbour Tuna Fishing trips will have 4 fishers per boat. We usually leave around 5am and head out to the Tuna grounds depending on the water temp. It's fun. We tie it in with some coho fishing & anchor up for some hali's on the way in.
