Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

I hear you about the sun VC...punishing !!

We had the same plan so headed out wide from the other side of the bay in search of tuna. Had my workmate and another mate on board neither of whom had caught one.

Ended up a punishing day in more ways than one. Had absolutely no trouble finding the tuna but do you think we could get them eat the lures !!!



We were surrounded by tuna on many occasions. Had them jumping fully out of the water, in front of us, behind us, to the sides. Chased the buggers all over the show.
Insanely frustrating !!

Tried going slow, fast, rapalas, even small kahawai lures just couldn't entice the bite.

Ended up with one for 70km of travel.



Mate was stoked tho. In fact they both loved it. Just being out amongst that stuff is an experience in itself.

Had dropped a longline on the way out at 28m and that produced 3 snaps so they both got a couple of feeds to take home



I'm going out there again. Very Soon !

What had the tuna been eating?

We had a look in its stomach but couldnt see anything in it. We did see some very small (about an inch long) bait fish jumping away from them at one stage and that is what prompted us to try some kahawai lures.

Actually they were salmon wedges but no bites on those either @Shearer
