North Australian FISH FINDER forums

On the big tides there's usually some clean water in close around east point- early mornings the best plus if there's no tune there's usually some big queenies and trevs around to play with

On the neaps the tuna will run into the harbour. I have seen them as far up as channel island but more commonly around the Emery point Mandora to East point triangle and out past the number 6 buoy. High tide seems better as the cleaner sea water runs into the harbour but on dead neaps it really doesn't matter. Dawn and afternoon seams to be best. Calmer weather is easier to spot them and chase them around.

I've also had more success when there has been 5-10knots, I've only caught 3 decent ones though so I don't know if that is just coincidental.
