dobson_c Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 No news of tuna from me, but i was down that way over Easter & there were some monster kings around. I saw one from Merimbula wharf that was about 1.2m and there were many reports from different sources of 1.3m kings everywhere. Poppers where the go!

Aqua Monster Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks for the update Sand Groper Do you normally head down chasing the tuna when they arrive? Aqua Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant 1874 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 hey mate They are a few starting to turn up along with some big blue marlin as well, im looking at going down as well hopefully it will be a good yellowfin run again this year.

dobson_c Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks for the update Sand Groper Do you normally head down chasing the tuna when they arrive? Aqua Monster Hi aqua monster. No, it was my first time down there actually! I fish out of Sydney. I bought an ocean going Grady White 228 to take me to Browns about 2 years ago, but the Tuna run off Sydney in that time has been rubbish! Now I have to sell the beautiful boat, so probably no offshore tuna runs for me at all Doh. Hope you get some down there. I've read the Stripies are thick down there at moment which is meant to be a good sign for the season - apparently the stripies make a good meal for the YFT!!

nemu Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi Raiders Just wondering if anyone has heard any reports yet from around Bermagui Keen to head down this year to tuna a go Any information would be greatly appreciated Aqua Monster Aqua Monsta be patient my friend keep an eye on the sea surface temps and save yourself some travelling time it all looks good here off Sydney with the birds and so forth when the eddy gets closer it will be all good and you won't need to tow your vessel all that way I too am keen for a crack at the tuna I'd like to have a go of JB this year but I'm not going anywhere without looking at the elements first...cheers Emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Monster Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks for the update Kingie Slayer, here's hoping... Shame u are selling the boat Sand Groper, I too have been waiting the last couple of years for a tuna season out off Sydney I fish a 7.2m Broadbill out of Sydney, and apart from some gemfish and blue eye have had limited success off Sydney Fish a lot in a 6.5m Broadbill "Out Wide" which a mate and I own up at Port Stephens Heaps of Marlin in the summer and no shortage of good Snapper and Kings in the winter, but not the best spot for tuna Might catch up with you at Bermi this year Kingie Slayer Aqua Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secho Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Anyone heading down to Bermagui for the Yellowfin comp this weekend? Weather forecast is looking pretty ordinary... we'll be onboard Tru-Dee - keen to see if any other raiders are heading down.. anyone ever heard of that comp being postponed? Supposed to be 110 boats entered.. can't see 110 boats going out in that sort of weather unless something changes between now and then..

Cheers - Secho Hi Secho, I am heading down on Friday morning and at the moment will be lucky to fish on Saturday unless the weather changes. I will be fishing from my Seafarer Viking (name IMGOIN2) so will need to keep a close eye on the weather. Our biggest fin caught of Bermi was 47.5Kg so will be hoping to better that this weekend.

exhail Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Had plans to tow the boat down to bermi for the week with my best mate from the country and put him on some big tuna until I realized the comp was on. I'm not sure how much the comp will stir up the schools and effect the fishing for the following week. The weather doesn't look too bad starting Sunday from Syd down to bermi. Might make the shorter trip to JB instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary25 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Gday fishos, This is my first post and made keen fisho I fished bermi for the two weeks leading up two Easter Sundy,Smashed the kings, Landed a 65kg stripe marlin, There was also big marlin around, And the tuna were there but playing hard to catch and find, i spoke to a boat that we had seen out wide and they said about an acre of 50kg to 80kg tuna came up busting the surface all around them but the boat sent them down and they wouldn't take a lure. The fish were all out wide over the 2000mtre mark were the water went from 25 back to 22 in temp. The long liners were bringing in some big yft and plenty of them.

Hopefully things improve down there.. the bluefin will start to show up soon. Cheers mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fished a half day effort on Friday afternoon and the only 2 fish landed were Bonito at the 12 mile. Saturday was blown out so stayed in doors as much as possible to keep warm. Sunday we went north to the Kink and landed 2 small Yellowfin which were under 15 kg so released. Stared a cube trail however we got sidetracked and tempted to follow birds busting up only to find dolphins. (big mistake!!) Did not fish the Monday as we needed to get back to work. Had heaps of fun anyway and plenty of Will try JB in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
