sic66chevelle2 excitedly announced that the tuna were finally within range of Bodega Bay. “Actually running for tuna!” captured the thrill of the first tuna trip of the season when conditions and fish align to make a run possible from this Northern California port.
The report likely covered how far offshore the tuna were found, the water temperatures that signaled the arrival of albacore or bluefin, and the trolling spread that produced strikes. Bodega Bay tuna fishing often requires running 30 to 60 miles offshore to reach productive waters.
The Bodega Reports forum was one of the most active on tunabite.com with nearly 500 topics, reflecting the strong community of anglers launching from this Sonoma County harbor. Timing the first tuna run of the season is a major event in the Northern California fishing calendar.
