Tuna Virgin No More
Submitted by ASD14 on Fri, 2016-01-22 07:13
Hi guys,
Me and a good friend took my boat out wide last weekend chasing tuna for the first time (here in south Australia).. ended up catching 4 tuna all up, they were all around the estimated 15-20kg size. Lost one that would have gone 30kg easy, after long fight :( oh well that's fishing I guess..
Anyway, super happy with my first attempt, and got such great satisfaction from doing it in my own tub! I can now say, im hooked on tuna! Ha.

Thanks guys! im still buzzing from last weekend, cant wait to get out there again and do it again :).
Peko - yeah its the first proper time ive taken the BC out wide, and the boat really surprised me how well it took the swell. Ended up doing just under 100km round trip, and only burnt 46ltr of fuel.

Hi Scano, I got that one
Hi Scano,
I got that one custom made here in SA.. its all 316 grade stainless steel, has an oversize sink, 250mm high splash back, 20mm lip on the front to stop water spilling and measures L 2000mm x W 900mm X 30mm thick. Its wall mounted 850mm off the ground so you don't get a sore back either!
Its my little pride and joy ahah.
Cheers.
