Get Bent

Yo bro - sounds like my tackles not big enough (the wife's been saying that for years). Can't wait to get out there and chase some Toona, hope it's a good season.

Thanks guys. Dave if you ever want a deckie to share costs I'd be keen - great way to learn, otherwise I'll let you know when I head down. Cheers Brett

Ha Ha.........are we nuts!

Thanks boys - so you think the Dogfight and TCurve 400 Jig stick is too small? I guessed the other two outfits would be a little underdone on larger tuna but thanks for the confirmation. I did say I've never really done this style of fishing but in reality I've gone out with others a few times - so not a complete noob I just haven't targeted with my own boat and gear. I'm keen to stick to stand-up spin gear. A couple of weeks ago I spent 2 days chasing Marlin off the south coast, in two days we got one small stripy tuna and managed two strikes from Marlin without hookup. Also fished the Bermi Bluewater Classic a couple of years ago for 3 days of nothing! so I know about the boredom part - just keen to experience the mayhem!. What water temp do you look for for tuna? Cheers.

Hi all – first time poster here. I’ve decided to have a crack at the tuna this season, I’ve been fishing all my life but never really targeted the larger pelagics, so just after some knowhow. I’ve got a Hydofield 18 which should do the trick but it’s more about the rigs, times, water temp etc. The outfits I have are 7000h Dogfight with TCurve 400 (new), Shimano Sustain 6000 with TCurve King Mac, and a TLD 20 with Livefibre rod. I’ve bought a few skirted lures and have learnt (I think) to crimp and made some of my own rigs up. I live in Canberra and will fish mainly Batemans Bay, JB, Wollongong areas. Any tips very much welcome. Cheers.
