Secho Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 G'day all First big Tuna for this season on board Tintola Ended up a cracker day considering how bad the seas were throughout the morning.. very uneasy conditions until well into the afternoon when it finally backed off. We'd dropped a spread just outside Sydney heads and pointed it East on sunrise... about an hour before the midday tide change the shotty took off hard - we were just shy of 700 fathoms at the time. Fish took off for a solid first run giving us plenty of time to clear the deck and get things sorted. After that a long hard second run had us convinced we were onto a good fish.. it fought strong and took us about 45 min to get the double up a few times before we finally got it boat side so we could sink the gaffs. Fish went 1.65 on the short - Cammo was on rod but we all took the opportunity to get a happy snap with it Many thanks Rob for the heads up last night - good luck over the weekend mate! We'll be out again on Tueday aboard REEL GAME - give us a hoy on 21 if you're out there Raiders! Cheers - Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmandile Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Would have been out there this weekend but for the weather. Went 2 weeks ago for a few stripies only. But will be out again next weekend for sure. Well done. If I catch 1 of those a season I will be happy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckegg Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Marty Congratulations on the yellowfin how heavy did it go. We went south as discussed, got six reds in an hour and a half then zero for the rest of the day. Wind and current going in opposite directions so it was a bit challenging. Biggest was bang on 3.5kg so given the conditions it wasn't a bad day. Johno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
