wacko Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Hi guys, Yep, we got into em' as well on Sunday off Sydney. We were approx 8 miles to the north and well east of Browns, when our trolled lures got monstered by fin'. We had a school of them around the boat to ourselves and got them on jigs....but they would'nt take a cube, only a moving 'bait'. Fish were between 35kg and 65kg.......also got Albacore on the Jigs and troll home. What a great day! Glad Sydney is having a run........but where are the yellowfin?? This guy weighed 65kg.......looked smaller to me on the boat but industrial electronic scales dont lie! Cheers, Wacko.

Well done Wacko they were pretty thick yesterday glad to hear you got into them.. Funny you talk about the weight of the fish - they are that fat it is ridiculous and when we had some go on the scales we had under estimated them as well. Cheers Damo
wacko Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Cheers Damo...............you boys are Smashing it!! You finding they are not taking cubes as well?......not that it really matters, especially when you can get them on jigs, troll etc ect......just interested cause' last season, we caught fin' on the cube rather then trolling.... Point being....at least they are here to catch! Wacko.
scaffsta Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Just out of curiosity when you gut the fish what have they been eating mostly ?? Well done guys.

REEF MAGIC CHARTERS Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Just out of curiosity when you gut the fish what have they been eating mostly ?? Well done guys. all fish have been pretty empty apart from tiny crabs... they get washed up off the bottom by upwellings as spawn in big numbers and the bluefin love them . If you look at the altimetry charts you will see why they are there. Cheers Damo
wacko Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Hey Billy, they dont call them thirsty Mercs for nothing!!! hahahah....only joking.....I always take spare fuel.....even if the big tank is full to the brim....just something I've always done......and spare oil too.... Cheers, Wack'
