Fishing inside 3 mile out from Stragglers every week or so and have seen very little surface activity lately. Came across one small school of very small (<1kg) tuna  about 2km off Freo that looked like a cross between a frigate mackerel and a mackerel tuna. They took trolled small minows and were good bait. Other than that, one 12kg YTK a few weeks back while drifting in 10m for pinkies.

South end of rotto in 34meters.

Massive bait balls but they were slow. No bird activity either.

Cheers
