The Southern Bluefin Tuna have arrived, and for these anglers, Saturday 28th April 2007 proved to be a real screamer. School sized Bluefin were consistantly hooked through out the day. Most fish were in the 15 - 20kg category, but on the light gear they were still tough going. Here we see Darren Bennett hooked up to a Bluefin on 10kg line.
