Hi my name is Jake Brisbane, just heard the good news of
The blue fin that have finally hit about 18 mile south of Eden on Wednesday and Thursday.
the fish were caught by 2 long liners in 25000 fathoms.
1 boat getting 20 fish and the other afew as well
The fish ranged between 80 and a 150kgs which is a good sign for us.
My dads close friend is a skipper of one of the boats
My dad thought it would be a good idea to share the information that we get
The old man fished JB in 500 fathoms in 21.6 water with the current pushing down the hill at about 3.5 knots yesterday.
He said there was a good temp break on the inside and out side of the shelf of 20.0 deg but no real good sign of bait or anything.
They trolled with a range of lures with not even a stripy.
