Evening all,
Has anyone been out trolling recently? Any tuna coming in? Any bait around?

warmer patches around
Last two runs for crays I've seen flying fish jumping around the boat while en route, about 5km off Freo. They were always in small areas where the water was about 1C warmer than either side, so maybe a few warmer eddies around.

By any chance Has anyone
By any chance Has anyone been to check out the fads yet? Thinking of having a crack over the next week and trying to decide whether to go to the ones back of rotto or out from ocean reef.

Yesterday was slow
I was out at my normal spots yesterday trolling around... The stiped tuna have definatly tapered off and baits still really low. Hard to get anything to have a look... waiting for the warm water still. Anyone else had any luck trolling?

Mate got a shark mackerel
Mate got a shark mackerel off West End the other day but that's it. Water needs to warm up for sure. Apparently some yellowfin have been caught at the trench.
