I've seen them out from Hillarys, although they weren't there last time I looked 32-38m.

 

Look for birds, look for bait, and then drop out richter jellybabes or jr tornados, although Daz & Chrisp were getting some good results on bibbed minnows.

once we found them we slowed down and ran bibbed  minnows,(x-raps)

Try silstar christmass trees, they work well or even better zukers

Blue Fin Tuna

Mon, 2010-09-20 16:25

Hello Iceman they are Blue Fin Tuna and they have been around for some time. I saw some caught on the weekend in and around the 40m mark.

Quite exciting actually I hope they hang around and make that area home. No one I know of has seen Blue fin in such number as there have been in the past couple of months. Those catching them are filliting up and having a good feed.
Just use hard body or skirted lures they are not fussy.
