queensland hervey bay longtail sesh with "bargy"

[reel mate]

I headed up to hervey bay late friday night with a couple of mates to meet up with bargy and chase some longtail tuna. We met bargy at 6:00am and headed straight up the western side of fraser for an hour and a half to platypus bay. It did not take long before we found the birds and feeding tuna and we were into them.

The longtails were not fussy taking just about everything we threw at them including Zman jerk shads, snapbacks, damiki armourshads, slugs, and surface poppers. We counted around 30 longies boated all day.

The action was fast aand furious all day long, and the bust ups were never out of sight. Sharks were not really a problem on the day except for one instance where an least 3m long bronzie? stole a tuna about to be boated right in front of us (awesome).

i wouldnt of minded trying for a big golden trev, but we were having to much fun.

We also ran into crazy walrus just south of rooneys. Nice rig mate.

Guys if you ever get an opportunity to get up to hervey bay search out bargy and give it a shot. He really knows his stuff.

Thanks for reading.

Glad to hear you had a ripper of a trip! The boys from fraser guided fishing know how to dish out a full on day of arm stretching maddness.

[reel mate]

Not wrong there we were all a bit sore at the end of the day lol

Mate sounds like you had a fat time, that bloke with the tuna with a popper hanging out of his mouth looks like a cool dude ha ha.

It was a great day out and good to see you lost your TUNA VIRGINITY.

Hey Reel mate it was an incredible couple of days action. You should have shouted out. These guys have a few boats. What an awesome rig the Galeforce are for chasing stuff in the bay.

I will get a report up when I can get the video together.

Monday was really hard chased Tuna from up past Roonies to moon point. What looked like tuna busting up was Long Toms.

Try to get out with Craig he is an awesome guide and runs one of the other boats of Bargys. I hear there are some epic queenies cruising the flats at the moment too :evil:

[reel mate]

definitel agree with funfisher craig would be my guide if bargy was not available.

[reel mate]

crazy walrus - yeah mate it was a top weekend. The galeforces are brilliant for that type of fishing. I couldnt believe we had all of station hill to ourselves chasing bustups all day. considering the mayhem back at urangan harbour.

[swabio]

hmm still have not had a chance at the right time to broach the topic ........ hmmmm the weather is not looking the best for the next week
