North Australian FISH FINDER forums

Fishtank...how is the first sentence of your post informative or in any way constructive? If you said that in my pub......BRRRRRRRR!!!!

As for the rest of my rant, well I guess I read into it a bit too much but each to their own - at least I was critical of peoples attitude - not fishing techniques!!! Especially those that clearly work.....

I'm sure the ensuing comments will be as witty as the previous ones, but I must put away my weapon (keyboard) as I have found myself in unfamiliar territory here...shouldn't have weakened...I've seen worse and said nothing...must be having a bad day....slowly climbing out of the internet HOLE I fell into...HAHAHA!!! Happy Fishing to all. Peace.

Sometimes you're just better off saying nothing I reckon.

When I'm first to school of tuna I go full noise at them and turn side on at the last minute so everyone can have a chance. I go right to the edge of the school .The 2 deckies who are ready to go with bail arm over will fire the first two cast into the school while the skipper switches of the motor and then also cast a chromie into the school. We always get one hook up , sometimes a double doing it this way.

When they are a bit flighty the skipper will use a knife jig as the school have gone deep as he the last in the boat to cast.

I love this cowboy method and it's my favorite form of blue water fishing.

Knife jig eh? Never thought of that. Good idea.

Or AM throw out a line (story) and wait for the bites and reel em in..........

Christ how did I get into this I only do tuna under duress and even then I only drive the boat

If the sliiy bastards really woke up to fishing Philippino style they'd drive up at WOT and lob at stick of dynamite into the tuna school, get more than they needed then and ready made sushi

Hey guys,went out on sat and got on the water just on daybreak to beat the wind and get some tuna action,Where are they,went over to lee point then across to Mandora then to east arm then back out the front for nothing,no birds working,no tuna,
Wrong tide ?

I heard long tails were in the harbour but you might have had to push out a but further, try Fenton to north gutter next time

On those tides mate you would have been better out wide of Lee point on the high tide. Then big tides bring dirty water and the Tuna stay a bit further out of the harbour. The Buffalo creek side of Lee point usually has them on the springs.

Ripper thats the info I was looking for.
So if neaps are better then does it matter which stage of the tide you fish or is it just a matter of getting out of the wind,also do they push into the harbour on the neaps.
