What sort of tuna were they? SBF, Strippies, and what size roughly?

I went out last Sunday and got 2 oriental bonito and 2 small tuna.
I think they were SBF but not 100% sure. They were about 30cm long.
The oriental bonito were better tasting than the tuna though.

Had a quick troll in the dinghy with light gear and just had freshly caught Tuna for dinner!
Awsome fights on light gear, custom made 4 kg rod/Penn2000 4 kg braid,no steel leader, lasted well over 10 minutes each!
It made the drag sing!!
Went out Sunday afternoon after the storm passed, and got 5 bonito.
We also picked up two pike just on sunset.
It was a nice afternoon out on the water after all the thunder and lightning cleared.

Tuna are around, not biting as much..
Any good areas to try and pick up bigger tuna or is it too early still???
We have picked up 2-3kg SBT South-west of Mandurah, but planning on heading over to rotto the wkd..
Fishing is my business and business in GOOD.
