 Bluewater tuna

During August and September warm, clear blue water pushes north into the deep water canyons to the southwest of Tofino bringing with it an entire ecosystem that would typically be found in seas far to the south of Vancouver Island. Among the fishes are the Albacore Tuna.

 Tuna Fishing

Canyon bottomfish

When the seas are calm we are able to access some terrific bottom fishing out on the edge of the continental shelf. Get out the electric reels, drop down to 500 - 700 feet and load up on Sablefish (black cod), ling cod, rockfish and the odd Halibut. We frequently see whales and large pods of dolphins on the shelf!
