Southern Blue Fin Tuna & Albacore have showed up nice and early and in good numbers. In the last two weeks, all boats targeting these great fighting game fish have brought in good numbers of both species. Tim Clark Caught a nice Mako on a lure. There is plenty of action out there if you are keen to go out wide!





Yellow tail Kingfish, These tough fighting game fish up to 10-15kg are still being captured regularly by diligent fisherman on the North shore. Pete Johnno has taken 3 Kings on several occasions. Live baits under a balloon seem to getting the best results, with a few being taken on the Troll or drift and stories of bigger fish being lost boat side. Big Plastics are also worth a try.

Snapper 30-38cm are thick on the north shore. They are great fun to fill in the time while waiting for the Kings to start screaming line of your bigger gear. Whiting are also being taken around Light house reef & Black nose. Also outside Lawrence Rocks, great mixed bags of Flatties, Queen Morwong, Nanagie, Snapper, and Gummie Sharks.

Awesome Kingi's

Spent last Sunday out in port phillip bay, originally we were going to hit the reefs around black rock to chase a few rat kingies about, reports of fish to 12 kg in PPB at the moment after the spell of hot weather. Unfortunately a stiff southerly changed our mind and we headed south for a bit more protection. Still had a great day catching King George whiting up to 42cm on fresh mussel...great eating

keep these reports coming, im pretty keen to hit that area once the tuna start to run, its something ive been meaning to do for a while.

cheers
Jules
