Thanks guys,
Practicing for the Tuna comps, by chasing other species seems to be working.

Hervey Bay Comp....we caught Golden Trevally,Queenfish,
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #Dart,Spotted Mackerel and I had a small
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #Black Marlin about 35kg on for 1 1/2
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #hours, before it wore through the leader
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #beside the boat.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -1st place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -2nd place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -champion team overall.

Mooloolaba Comp....see photos and we also caught a heap of
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #Longtail Tuna, in Hervey Bay.We even
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #had a couple of triple hook ups,that was
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #mayhem.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -1st place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -4th place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -champion team.
Now for the Bribie Tuna Comp,the system seems to be working. So any ideas on where to go and what to chase will be considered?

thanks.....Shawn

How about practising in some wind Im told the waverider has plenty of 2-4 kilo dolphin hanging round it atm, the current runs up to 4knots out there, would be a challenge
