Squeezed in some Brisbane Fishing while on training

Post by Aaron G »

RAAF sent me down to Amberley for some training but managed to sneak one day out with another RAAFY mate.

Ended up catching my first Tuna. A Northern Long Tail I was told. from Moreton bay. A place locals call 'the 5 beacons'.

Got em on a live gary while drifting pass diving birds.

lost one but got one, then weather turned ugly.

My GOD do these fish fight! i was using my mates light spinner with 15lb braid.

It was my first experience with Tuna and was blown away.

Hope to have a crack at some in the Dry back home in Darwin.

Its not a crisis unless there is blood around.
If there is blood around......well its a police matter...

Average longtail for moreton bay, the area is called the 4 beacons. It's a shame there are only babies up here.
