Tuna Fishing Season Oregon Coast Summer 2010
2010 Tuna Fishing Update
July 6th update: Tuna fishing is open!
We’ve been receiving a lot of inquires about the Oregon Tuna fishing season this year. Water temperatures are still a little cold for catching Tuna, but this could change very quickly…tomorrow…or even into the middle of July. Bottom line, Tuna will be running soon.

How Do We Know When to Start Fishing?
We can travel up to 100 miles off the coast to fish for Tuna. Tuna are caught in warmer water usually between 52 – 62 degrees F. We are actively monitoring Terrafin chart’s (example above) and when the temperature is right, it’s a good time to start fishing for Tuna. Very generally speaking the colder water is more conducive to larger fish in less density. When you start catching large Tuna you know that you are on the outside of larger schools in the warmer water.
Hey there
I hope all is well with you folks. I am looking to fish for Tuna this year. I am a working man and I need to schedulemy time off. When would be as good time to do this? No offense:) but the last time I went out on the ocean to fish, I got skunked:( both times, fot tuna and for bottom fish. My wife was wondering if I really went fishing:) Could you advise? I would be schedueling on a Sunday or Monday. How much does it cost?
Thank You

Hello Bob,
Sorry to hear about your lack of catching.
I just received a call from one of our Captains and there was a sport tuna boat with 40 tuna yesterday. We have a boat going on the 7th, and I think the tuna are here.
The tuna are usually here from early July through August. We have had Tuna as early June, and we have had them go as late as Sept. Our 12 hr trips are $220 and our 18hr trips are $315.
