First Y/fin Tuna

[warnie]

Hi Raiders

Managed to get out recently to try for some y/fin tuna off sydney "Ungry" departed early

morning and was greeted to a kind ocean despite the weather report... we trolled an

area affectionatly refered to as the kink.... we had an avid reader of fish raider

on board who has never caught a y/fin before and am happy to say whilst not in the class of that magnificent 80kg caught recently and only weighing sub 20kg they were of no less

of a milestone to him.............. he was beaming from ear to ear.....

Hoping to go back out on the next good weather window and I am sure he will be

eagerly awaiting to try again.

Cheers Warnie

Thats funny,from the boys that i no that were at browns today said that heaps of boats out there,and up

until 4pm no one had turned a reel,and no reports over the radio that anyone was gettin any either.

but i guess of all the stack of cube trails going over the side a couple must have eventually been

caught.Bet all that berley in close off kurnell would have seen a heap of good reds taken today!

cheers,steve

Warnie, I see your running a witchdoctor as well when your trolling for YFT.

I now use one to raise marlin but got told they not the best for YFT...how have you found it, obviously yesterdays fish did well but how was it previously

[warnie]

Netic

I guess each to there own.....we actually run two

can't fault them..... they certainaly don't scare em away

we then put what we call a Qantas bibless..... 3 mtrs behind each one

this method account's for a lot of y/fin for us but everyone is differant

incidently we lost 3 last season to marlin pinching them and would

highly reccomend them........though costly if that keeps happening

Cheers Warnie
