Some serious tuna there
I have seen some tuna action from down that way on TV. It definately looks like a great place to visit.

ay fellas cheers for the
ay fellas cheers for the replys :)
as for how far out we head to the continental shelf its about 1 hr drive to get towrds good depths from 80 to 200 all way up to 1000+ metres teh furthe you go past it.
our fish wher caught at the 100m mark on that day
sometimes when the birds are workin we will get them closer in but on that day was very rough up to 40knots n 6 metre seas , i a 53 foot boat you still feel it. the lure used
wer black majic skirts with at different heads workd well
the best colors are green blue pink purple yellow and if there hungry tehy wil take anything. the one in the video i caught was the fish for the day. we troll 6 rods at a time and on tht drift we had 2 way hook up and as i was bringing in mi purple skirt on the retreiveal of bring it in so no line tanglers with teh hooked fish, a tuna smashd my lure so from 2 became 3 :) was a good day out very rough tho :)
