AI fella Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Headed to the peak for a jig but it was very quiet , changed plans and started to troll for Marlin ,only took 5 minutes and we hooked up to a small black but the hook didnt stick Reports came through on the radio that the yellowfin were going nuts at the Canyons...and there were birds and tuna just going berserk once we arrived, 3 fish all about 45kg in 30 minutes some fish getting airborne 😁 it was an amazing sight to see , After a quiet year today made up for it Cheers , Gareth 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribs Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Nice yella there Gareth, on a trolled lure I assume?

AI fella Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Yes, all 3 on the old faithfull lumo sprocket in green, some reason they love green, we only used one rod as there were boats everywhere, a 90kg model was lost so make sure your using 30 wide reels 27kg, a big blue was hooked in 1500 fathoms but the boys dropped it, hope the longliners didnt smash the school last night , south of the Canyons, find the birds , tight lines all 😎, cheers all, G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledge Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Whatever it weighs it’s a nice fish and they all go hard for their size regardless! I have caught them up to 35kg and they were great fighting fish on a popping rod and spinning reel with 15kg drag!! Hardest fight of my life. Any heavier and I would have had to tap out. Very envious that you have the boat to get out there. Top session, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 So exciting to see a few more yellowfin about, if you aren't sure on weights of fish just go off measures instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaichilli Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Great to see the yet around in good numbers, hope the steaks went down well. How far are the exclusion zones for long liners? Would be better fishing without them, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
