Bluefin Off Stones

[anthony1]

This is my first post so we will see how we go

Fished the rocks this morning somewhere north of sydney

Tried to get some slimies with no luck so got a couple of yellowtail

sent one out and within ten minutes was onto a king (good fun)

landed him and sent out another bait about 30 min later and i was on again

after about 15min and alot of leading around the rocks i had a bluefin on the rocks.

My first bluefin and best fish to date. It went 8kilos

I have to thank the blokes on the other side of the bay who came over and gaffed it for me.

What a buzz

I will have to try to work out how to add photo.

Welcome to Fishraider dude, sounds like you had a great day, I'm going up to some ledges off Seal rocks in a couple of weeks, hope I can get some of your Tuna action happening. Congrats on the catch.

Cheers, Tobe

Nice tuna there, might try for some pelagics off the rocks and/or a beach session with all the talk about bait fish and pelagics (salmon, tailor, kingfisg etc) off our beaches of late due to the warm current off the coast lately

Top effort there Anth, looks like a beast. I sure there were a couple good steaks to come of that baby.

Cheers

Congrats on a good fish off the rocks mate.

I'm guessing that could be your Bluefin frame on " The Nail " at the ramp.

I heard they"d turned up. Well done.

Well done Anthony,

That is a great fish from the central coast!!!! You are very honest, if you had have told me it was 10kg, I wouldnt have argued - it looks big to me.

See you soon, we will have to get out again in the boat,
