Scent Blazer Lures Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Finally got out there, had electrical problems on our last 2 tuna fishing attempts and turned back both times, too risky to be 40NM out with a faulty boat, so common sense prevailed. This time my electrician assured me it was fixed. We left the dock around 9am to fuel up, unbelievable the boat played up going to the fuel dock and wouldn’t start after we refuelled. Arghhh!!!! Rang the electrician, his shop was nearby and Graham came over. After 2 and half hours we finally found the problem and had a solution to get it running.I had 2 people on standby at Lavender Bay to pick-up. I called them and said it’s a really late start and we won’t get much fishing in but FU*CK IT lets go if you are still keen, we picked them up and we fanged it out there. We stopped for one minute to take a photo of a whale. I setup the gear on the way out going at 20-25 knots, crammed all the lures and teasers with pilchards so everything was really to haul out when reached our destination which was about 5MN NE of Browns. By the way there looked like there were 50 boats on Browns as we went past it. Finally we were trolling towards Heatons, 10 minutes into it and we hooked a small kingfish, never caught a kingfish that wide before. About 20 minutes later got a hook up on bigger fish but dropped it, probably a SBT. 20 minutes later hooked a BFT which stuck, landed it in around in 15 minutes, it was fat fish and we had to tail wrap and gaff it to pull it board.After a bit of back slapping we decided to make our way back, we were happy with the one BFT, shit loads of tuna for everyone, no reason to kill another. So we put one lure out with a circle hook on a light trace so if we did get another fish we could release it easily. Good luck to anyone heading out!
