queensland Hervey Bay Tuna 18/10

[The Mad Hughesy]

Headed up to Hervey Bay over the weekend for my 30^th. Planned on fishing the pier but the wind wasn’t playing the game. Luckily, the charter we had booked come through with the goods.

 

Chased schools of tuna in the morning and hooked a couple of good sized mack tuna. Saw plenty of long tail but couldn’t hook one. Trolled around Rooney point for a while as a few small Marlin had been seen lately but we couldn’t find any. We jigged on a school of big trevally but could not get them past the sharks once hooked. The trip home was very rough as it ws blowing 20knots northerly…very uncomfy trip home from roonies!

 

All in all a good day out, cant wait to go there again!

Hi Chris

Those are some great mack tuna. Good job. Shame the wind was up on the pier though! 

Did you keep any for bait or were they all released?

Cheers Hamish

Happy 30th !

Nice one mate. I am heading to Wathumba in a few weeks. I hope we can get past a few sharks.
