the yellowfin cup

[mackmauler]

Went chasing the pelagics off point lookout with CJ (magic pudding) and Shane (bazzaman), bit of a northerly as we left the ramp but it didnt increase which was a bonus.

Out the bar and east we went searching for the birds, with the sea a bit sloppy the lures went out at the first sign of bait. we didnt wait long for action, a nice little fin soon gobbled the pakula for CJ. iced and deck cleaned we were on the move again, have to give the raymarine sounders a plug, find the bait the fish arnt far away

by 7am we had a couple of fish each and no room left in the icebox, as the morning went on a succession of yellowfin and the odd stripy were released, we stopped counting at about 20 yellowfin, a few lures went MIA on the 8-10kg gear, possibly wahoo.

cheers Rob

Rob

Are they a proposition on fly? Or just trolling? Keen to add another tunny to my species list

[jeffo]

had a pakula out.. nup doesnt count!!

[mackmauler]

duckbill, if you put the time in you might get one that way. they usually are down deeper, casting behind a fish hooked on the troll would probably be the best bet, around here anyway.

It was definately worth waking up at 2:20am for! Thanks rob and shane, it was a great day out. It probably would have been worth a livebait for billies, but we didnt have a tag pole so it would have been frustrating had we got one.

Cheers, CJ
