Ken A Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 YELLOWFIN FEVER ..Broadbill and Billfisher have another great week on bigger yellowfin Through last week BROADBILL and BILLFISHER caught some great yellowfin tuna They were all around the same size averaging from 30 to 35kg. (See the pictures)… We caught most of the fish around the 300-fathom line All fish were caught on cubes late in the afternoon. Most of our anglers were first time "tuna virgins"…… However after experiencing the ball busting power of their runs, they reckon it will not be their last. Trolling lures has only produced small fish through the week and in some cases leaving us with the impression that the tuna had done a runner. The cubes however worked well and got them to the back of the boat pretty well. Trolling will improve as the moon gets closer to the full. The best time to catch yellowfin is the week before the full moon,.. Especially for trolling. We now have 2 group bookings in the near future from Fishraider so let's hope that the fishing remains "hot" Captain Ross and Glenn Hunter's boats Broadbill and Billfisher are available for tuna charters on 9534 2378 www.gamefishingcharters.com.au Four great fin caught on Billfisher The boys hold up their first Yellowfin The happy team back at the wharf Yeh my first yellowfin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy0884 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Woot! Tuna madness! they look like real line burners! 300 fathoms is about 550m, so thats a fair way out off the shelf. Looks like a great session! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
