Limited Time Warm Water BC Albacore Tuna Fishing Window

Satellite Technology tells us when the right temperatures exist.

For West Coast Vancouver Island Tuna fishing, the weather is pivotal and can not be predicted to any degree of accuracy weeks in advance. NOAA has decades worth of current temperature data and the most likely week where the stars have aligned annually off Kyuquot is the last week in August.  This is the same time the Pacific Commercial Tuna Fleet fish the same waters.

Water Clarity is equally essential for Pacific Albacore Tuna fishing to be successful. The "BLUE" water is also visible on satellite systems measuring surface chlorophyll levels.  This indicator will also be used on a daily basis to find the best Tuna water.

Murphy's utilizes the latest in the above technology to generate daily reports on conditions and best opportunities, but above all your safety.  We will never take any risks. Safety first.

Your Action Packed Tuna Trip Four or Five Day Plan:  

Serviced by top caliber Tuna fishing tackle and vessel equipment and a talented crew with great food!

To give you the best opportunity, we have made these Tuna Fishing trips one day longer than our normal program. This gives you a better window at getting on the offshore Tuna waters. Generally, the weather is good and the warm water currents are closest during the last week of August. Our objective will be to get you into one full day of Tuna fishing out of the four or five day package. The remaining days will be spent fishing for Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod and Rockfish

• Day One - 3pm arrival at Fair Harbour, Shuttle to lodge, Dinner, evening Salmon fishing
• Day Two - 8 to 10 hrs guided fishing,
• Day Three - 8 to 10 hrs guided fishing.
• Day Four (optional) - 8 to 10 hrs guided fishing
• Day Five - Morning Salmon/Halibut/Groundfish fishing, Brunch, Shuttle back to Fair Harbour by Noon.
