cruisecraft Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well done boys! Groper was this just recently, didn't know you could score blue fin tuna in summer in Tassie. Also off Sydney we get blue eye at ~400m, in Tassie what depths are the blue eyes at. Many thanks for the post , what a great country we live in.

Yowie Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good work there Groper. Good sized tuna and Blue Eye. Salamanca markets are the best markets in Aus, and I have visited quite a few markets. Great seafood, food, wine down in Tassie, but the winters are a bit too cold and windy on the west coast. Do you visit Bicheno? Eat at the restaurant on the beach, eat lobster caught that morning and watch the penguins waddle up the beach just on dark.
