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.

Hefty looking fish Aaron! Great work on light gear!
Its not a crisis unless there is blood around.
If there is blood around......well its a police matter...

Fair effort.

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