Yellowfin at Gemini wreck

Just thought I would let the pelagic guys on here know that I had yellowfin tuna free jumping at the Gemini wreck yesterday.

They looked to be around the 7 - 10kg models and bloody fat.

Did a quick troll with skirts but no luck and will definitely try next time I am out.

First bust up was about 1030, the next was 1100, not sure if these times coincide with anything though - tide, moon etc

We were targeting a few sambo's, but they were quiet and then switched to slow tolling squid which raised the action.

It's quite a site to see tuna free jumping, time seems to stop as you watch in awe.
