OI, going up bribie for a fish tomorrow. Tuna. We are going about 7-ish. Meet ya up there or on the way if you want.

Bastard,

We got some serious arse seas coming our way...

Landbased Tuna? Longtail?

Yeah Landbased and yeah longtails. They would have been going off yesterday with the first of those westerlies. Should be going well today too.

Awesome, Good luck!

Let us know how it went, am looking for somewhere to go fishing land based saturday morning. I've got a new soft plastics rig I'm dying to test out.

Didn't catch any longtails but I did get a Mack Tuna. Weighed 5.6 kgs. PLenty of fish about but they were out a bit far to get them from the beach. I hooked 2 fish and landed one.

Hey Stinky,

I got this Mack on my soft plastics outfit

Fishing a live slimy under a balloon I was.

Awesome fun. My reel pushes 7kg of drag and I reckon I was not far off that!

Tuna off the beach hey? Only in QLD

Did any one notice how flat the sea is in the back ground? 25-30kt westerlies help with 150m casts too.

damn you people with boats!!

good stuff guys. Nothing quite like tuna on light tackle

Haha, I just figured you were fishing the passage, the ocean *can't* be that flat

It's funny how when you stop spending money on cars you can afford boats

I missed all the fun didnt get the message until this afternoon

It's a hassle I know, but I have to go "tuna-ing" again tomorrow. Pics to follow if all goes to plan.

We should organise an AUSubaru fishing trip.

We should. Good thing it wasn't today though. I went up the beach again for a look today and didn't see a single fish. It was just dead. Gonna hit it up again after work during the week and probably again next weekend. Weather permitting of course.

I'll post up towards the end of the week with times and stuff for any one that wants to come.

i am keen...

How it go today?

No fish today. Blowing pretty hard from the SE around the front. We didn't even see a fish today. We ended up taking a drive across the island across the old tip track. The rangers have opened it all up through there now. Makes it easy to get to the calm side but they have srewed it up big time over there. All the old tracks we used to use to get to the out of the way fishing spots have been closed off.

Not a word of a lie when I say they have closed every single track except for the one main one through the middle. The rangers have single handedly destroyed the place. A champion effort I reckon to absolutely (&^%(*&^ the island and all with in 18 months. I honestly don't know what they use for brains at times.

All the old tracks up there used to be flat and hard. Easily doable in a 2wd. Now they have closed them all off the one main track gets all the traffic and it is disgusting. There is chewed up sand for 80% of it. The other 20% is corrugated. I was amazed at the land they have cleared in the name of conservation. They have dead set bulldozed tracks through the paperbark trees and closed off old tracks. Ironic thing is they all went to the same place.

I guess thats what you pay $100+ for.I know a few people use the middle track to avoid tides and get to the far end camp sites.School holidays now so i guess it wil be getting busy up there.
