Some recent snapshots from previous charters and fishing trips.

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.

Happy angler with this Tasmanian (or Striped Trumpeter) captured during March 2008. A number of these fish have been taken along the edge of the Continental Shelf.

Small Albacore Tuna captured on light line. Albacore are prolific in the area from January through to April.
These fish range from 2.5kg up to around 25kg in weight, with fish around the 15 - 20kg size quite common.

Catch of Yellowfin Tuna and Albacore taken by a charter group in February 2006. Constant Strikes and multiple hook ups provided plenty of action through out the day.

Nice Albacore landed only minutes after setting the lure pattern.

Big Yellowfin Tuna captured in March 2007. With warm water temperatures provided by the East Australian currents, and with plenty of baitfish, big Yellowfin tuna have been feeding in these waters and have provided plenty of action. These two fish were landed after a double hook up.

May 9th 2007. After a successful day catching small school Bluefin, we were only half a mile from home when three rods let out a huge scream. With line peeling off at an alarming rate,the reels were being completely spooled in seconds. We had three bluefin hooked up all well over 100kg. After one dropping the hook and a second fish breaking off we had only one left hooked up. Picture shows our angler at the start of his 4 hour marathon battle which lasted into the night.
