North Australian FISH FINDER forums

Hi Guys,
I'm fairly new to boat fishing and looking to tick off some solid tuna and macks, it's might be a little early yet but has anyone been catching many lately?
cheers

Went out Saturday and the tuna and some Mack’s amoung then were at 6mile around lunch time
Couldn’t hook one on the lures that usually work and didn’t see the other 2 boats hook up either.
They weren’t flighty and were all around the boat feeding...very frustrating!!

went out to Dundee, and out near Sail City, there were schools going crazy, couldnt miss. 40g Halco outcasts were destroying them... so much fun.

I was thinking about heading out to six mile. Also want to go out to dundee as well.. cheers for the replies. Hopefully get onto some soon

Have also seen schools of tuna & queenies at 6 mile recently and same as mickd couldn't hook up on usual chromies/poppers, very annoying! They were quite flighty as though only popping up for a minute or less then buggering off.
Sounds like Dundee is the go if you can get a day without too much wind/swell.

Anyone had any Pelagic action out at Dundee lately, and how far out? wouldnt mind running the Shabby-Craft out there sometime, but obviously need days with zero wind, be preferable. ha ha!

Hey Captain, I went out a few weeks ago and there we tons of tuna bust ups, mostly macks but the odd long tail in the mix. Saw a few mackeral around as well but didn't manage to hook any just came home with some long tails, not complaining about the tuna steaks though!

nice Mitch!! how far out? ive got a 90L tank in the Shabby, but can always take Jerry Cans onboard. N she doesnt ride to well in the Chop, so need smooth days on water

Not sure exactly but we were probably traveling for around 30-45 minutes. It was blowing a bit in the morning around 6 and smoothed off and blew up again around 1:30 ish. My mate has 100l tank but we brought two 20l jerrys out as well
Hope that helps!

Thanks mate! sure does! did you have to use any of the Jerry cans at all?

Heard a few reports of a lot of Macks getting caught in the harbour, even before Mandorah. Gold!

Sorry mate about the late reply, no we didn't end up using them is was more back up or if we wanted to go further out!

Cool as Mitch! Yeah, I'm itching to get out to Dundee sometime soon for a bit of a Pelagic-chase, but needs that flat-water for my boat!
