From portland its 59km

But you dont really need to head that far as there getting a lot of bluefin in closer now, but if you want albicore you will have to travel abit, I was at port mac last week and caught a lot of bluefin and a few albicore about 35-40kms out, but we saw bluefin jumping all over the joint in just 20m of water! Also check bobs fishing report, very helpful.
I thought the start of the horseshoe and where the tuna often are found is 45km from portland?
