SatFish’s Pacific Northwest offshore fishing maps show you the offshore sea surface temperature (SST) and water color (chlorophyll) breaks vital for finding and catching albacore. Even when it’s cloudy, our cloud-free SST and 1- and 3-day composites will still point you to the right general area to look for life and tuna. Plus, our 5-day wind forecast helps you pick out the right window to make your run offshore.
PacNW Regions We Cover
Pacific Northwest Overview
Our Pacific Northwest Overview charts give you a “big picture” overview of the offshore grounds from Vancouver Island to Northern California and offshore to 135W longitude. This is a great map to track the albacore migration route from the middle of the Pacific as they start to arrive to the local grounds.
Vancouver Island
Our Vancouver Island charts cover the main fishing grounds for albacore off Vancouver Island. We have a northern Vancouver Island region for offshore fishing from Winter Harbour and Port Hardy, and a southern region that covers waters accessible from Esperanza Inlet, Nootka Sound, Tofino, and Ucluelet / Barkley Sound.
Washington
Our Washington fishing chart covers the entire state of Washington and the northern part of Oregon to provide complete coverage of the offshore grounds from Neah Bay and La Push to Westport and Ilwaco.
Westport / Ilwaco
With Westport and Ilwaco being such important ports for albacore fishing, we made a dedicated chart centered on these two ports to provide full coverage of the offshore grounds both north and south of Grays Harbor and the Columbia River.
Oregon
Our Oregon fishing chart covers the entire state of Oregon, from the Columbia River down to northern California. We provide complete coverage of the offshore grounds reachable from Depoe Bay and Newport all the way down through Coos Bay, Bandon, and Port Orford to Brookings.
Southern Oregon / Northern California
For those of you fishing out of Port Orford, Brookings, and Crescent City, SatFish has you covered! We offer a fishing chart straddling the Oregon – California border to provide full coverage of the offshore grounds, from Bandon to Eureka, so you don’t need to switch back and forth between the Oregon and Northern California charts to decide whether to turn right or left out of the harbor.
