Maybe Tuna Fishing Tomorrow


Recommended Posts

I’ve been ridiculously busy for work but I might finally be able head out tomorrow, probably leave mid-morning and fish all arvo. I don’t think the water is great, massive upwelling off Sydney. The water that looks promising for Bluefin looks like it’s about 100 miles out. I’m happy to give it a crack though, around Browns not 100 miles out :). You never know could be YFT out there, or even a late marlin or dollie, the water is still warm enough.

I’ve managed to put some videos up on catching Bluefin and Yellowfin on our lures if anyone is interested. I got a tonne of raw footage and I could do a few more, but just don’t have time right now. And sorry about the repetitive music, I didn’t have time to find other tracks. I’ll change the music at some stage. There are a few raiders in the clips.

If anyone is interested in trying the lures this Tuna season, I’ve put together a pack of lures that have worked for us to catch Tuna off Sydney.

That gives you 25% off and compensates for the lousy exchange rate

We are just about sold out of lure bags and only have 5 left. So if you want a Tuna Pack in a lure bag you’ll have to be quick. We’re also sold out of teasers as well. A shipment is arriving in about 4 weeks which will restock us for lure bags and teasers.

Good luck to anyone heading out

I got out this arvo for el zilcho. Only got a bit over 3hrs trolling in mainly around the back of Browns, quiet, no birds, no bait. I think its a bit early for the tuna as well.

I was just happy to get away from work and get some fresh air. I was hoping to catch something but was expecting nothing. Good conditions and the water was really blue, about 22 at the back of Browns.

Micro lures are coming, maybe a month now.

Still a nice avo to be on the water.

I've heard the odd marlin is still around. Not sure how accurate my source is though....

I make a cameo in the yellow fin vid haha. :)

yeah :) I will do a bit longer version of that video, i got some good footage of when James is in the water with the tuna and we have it tail roped, its beating its tail around like crazy. I'll let you know when i put it up

Hi scent,

would u have any specific recommended lures for tuna? I wanna give them a crack this season. Not too keen on dollies or marlin. Just yellowfin or sbt?

Cheers

last year we got our tuna on lure chains, 6" lures. We put the bait in the stinger lure only not the top 2 lures. we also hooked albacore and stripies on them. Other than that 8" lures are good, you don't need really big lures.

these 3 all work:

or this pack, they're all lures that we caught tuna on before

Just my opinion, maybe about a week give or take a few days for SBT. The water that I think looks good is too far east or south at the moment, to me it looks over 100 NM out. But who knows for sure fishing is hardly an exact science :)

I called a mate at lunchtime and we did quick run to Long Reef for a bit of trolling, we got around 3hrs in before dark. We hooked 3 fish and landed 2 small kings on our lures, nothing legal. Still happy to get away from the computer screen for half a day, so sick of work. There were about 10 boats around the area, really nice and flat. Heard over the radio a that few squid were caught and lots of slimies but not much else.

Ordered a game pack... Thankyou .. Good work on the Kings too

no probs, good luck when you head out next. Just a tip make sure you unscrew all the bits and empty out and wash out all the bait from the lures at the end of the day. I've left a bit of bait in them before by accident and trust me they will stink to high hell :)

If I can clear some work and weather pending I might be heading out wide on Tuesday looking for tuna. I know 2 boats heading out this weekend, be keen to hear how they go.
