I spoke to a couple of guys who went out today, they literally got nothing, said it was around 22 at the 12 mile, they were pulling lures all day, mainly east of browns going towards heatons, neither of them even got an knockdown, I told them its because they are not running Scent Blazers :)

I've been flat out with work, hoping to get out there next week, maybe Tuesday or Thursday

I also got some info from Merimbula, no Bluefin showing up yet and not many yellowfin either, They did get a run of football sized YFT about 6 weeks ago, so I'd say the tuna are still while away for Sydneysiders,

did anyone manage to get out there over the w/end? let us know how you went?

Yes pete i can not wait to try some of your Lures when the Boat is up and running , Little behind at the moment just a bit. LOL.

whale carcass is bound to a have a lot of fish on it, never found one off Sydney myself

chocolate your boat will get finished soon, and so will mine :)

bummer about batemans bay, there are some colder breaks off Sydney where the tuna might be, but they are a long way out, about double heatons, the blue and greenish spots on the map. So when they push in closer the tuna can't be too far away.

I will probably head out on Thursday

Went out yesterday mate just to take the new motor for a run and headed out to the 22km FAD off Port Hacking and there were more bait balls then birds out there.

Never seen so much bait from 5km to 22 km it was just bait everywhere. Trolled a few deep diver rapalas but nothing. Had a few bait get caught up on the lures all slimmeys. No Tuna sightings but I tell ya it will go off once they find that bait. Another month and it will be full steam ahead :banana:

Hey guys, that was us that found the whale carcass, did pretty well on the mountain, cubed for a couple of hours for 0.

Wind had started to pick up so we decided to start running home.

Saw a heap of birds sitting on the water, once we got closer we realized it was a dead whale.

That's when we seen the tiger shark, he was roughly 6m long.

There was another smaller tiger there at around the 200kg.

We sat there for a couple of hours watching these sharks and dolphin fish, honestly the best thing I have ever seen on the water.

we Knocked a few nice sized dollies on the head just over the shelf about 2-3 k south of browns. Got the blood pumping for a little while but overall a pretty quiet day.

Whale blubber that was floating in the water, we were thinking it would be to hard to switch the tiger off the whale onto something else.

This is where the tuna should be running which is a long way out from heatons. The trouble with all this info is the fish dont know about these charts and might just be anywhere so if you dont try you will never find out.

I'll be out trying around Heatons on Sunday on anyfin,

Ian if you want a ride out let me know
