Aqua Naut Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Well Saturday arvo and what a day it was so Kev and I decided to take the kids out for a troll and with light winds and just a touch of swell we managed a great 2 hours of fun. Trolled over the same area several times and the sounder was alive with life beneath the boat with the water temp climbing to 23.1oC we got stuck into it. Mack Tunas decided to pop in close as well as the bonitos and we managed 12 within 1 hour. all around the 45 to 55 cm mark . Great to see the warm water pushing in close so I rekon its time to head out for some big stuff. Tight Lines!!!

J Hooked Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 That's fantastic! The only thing I could manage to catch Sat arvo was the Bus for work! It was a big one though. Great effort! Hopefully these warm currents hang around long enough untill I can wet the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I noticed you kept the mack tunas in the photo. I got one yesterday and let him go thinking they weren't great tucka. Are they? Or did you keep them for bait purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filleted them and soaked overnight in a dish with lemon juice then fry them up next day.....beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
