Sandspit Adventures
Long Fin Tuna
Ultimate Pacific Northwest Tuna Experience
Long Fin Tuna
Albacore tuna fishing at Sandspit Adventures focuses specifically on Longfin Pacific (Albacore) Tuna, a powerful offshore species that appears in Haida Gwaii waters only when ocean and weather conditions align. These trips are not part of the regular fishing schedule. Each season, the owner personally evaluates long-range forecasts, sea conditions, and water temperatures before offering a limited opportunity to pursue albacore offshore.
Because albacore fishing requires long runs into open Pacific waters, guests must be prepared for extended stays exceeding five days. This flexibility allows Sandspit Adventures to wait for the precise weather window needed to safely and effectively access productive tuna grounds. When conditions come together, anglers are rewarded with fast-paced action, powerful fish, and a style of fishing rarely experienced in this region.
These exclusive albacore tuna trips are designed for anglers who value preparation, patience, and opportunity over predictability. Success depends entirely on timing and respect for the Pacific, not a fixed calendar. When the window opens, tuna fishing with Sandspit Adventures becomes a rare extension of offshore fishing in Haida Gwaii, reserved for those willing to commit to the conditions that make it possible.
Tuna Fishing Tips

What time of day is best for salmon fishing?
Early morning and late afternoon are typically the best times for salmon fishing, especially during changing light conditions and moving tides.
What kind of gear is used for salmon fishing?
- Artificial Squid
- Spoons

What lures or bait work best for salmon?
Salmon respond best to spoons, squid, and natural bait like herring, with the most effective choice depending on species, season, and water conditions.
