##About
Take a Tuna fishing trip with Yaquina Bay Charters as we pursue bountiful limit catches of 25 tuna per person. All sport fishing rods are used when trolling for Tuna and light tackle rods to cast and jig for the fish during the later part of the season. No hand lines are used. All tuna trips are 12 hours in length. ***We recommend no one younger than 12 participates in this trip.
Yaquina Bay Charters values a great fishing experience for all those aboard our Tuna trips; which is why we limit them to only 12 people. This assures our fisherman maximum fish time and a comfortable boat that is never crowded. The Crackerjack and Gracie K are some of the fastest boats in the fleet. Faster cruise speed means longer range and more fishing time. Hop aboard one of our boats and you won’t be disappointed.
The tuna arrive on the Oregon coast off Newport when water temperatures warm up in the summer months, a perfect time to plan your vacation to Newport and the Oregon coast. Albacore Tuna are able to strike your fishing line at speeds of 60 miles per hour and make for an enjoyable fishing experience.
While most people are accustomed to eating tuna as a sandwich spread and most get theirs canned for that purpose, there is nothing tastier than the Albacore Tuna loin for BBQ grilling. If you like smoked products, Albacore Tuna is one of the tastiest of the smoked fish products.
