Definately around 2-3kg soutern blues from the three mile/five fathom way out to 250m+. Not quite sure that they count as good sized, though they are fast on bream gear ;)

Anyone heard any reports of the tuna situation down Dunsy way?

Going to dive on the Swan over the weekend and will probably do a bit of trolling while we're out that way if they're around.

Sorry Big John

slow reply.....

Mackerel have been from 9-28kg......yep 28kg off the back of Rotto

3 mile has less fish but still landed a couple of beauties @10-12kg three weeks back

 

there must have been a coral spawning up north as there is lots of brown slicks out there now which will slow things down...

Cracking macks for anywhere, let alone the metro. Anyone got any pics or are they scheduled for a magazine appearance.

How far are you talking when you say "off the back of rotto"?

Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more serious than that!!!

West end!

Sun, 2009-03-22 15:04

Sent a mate out there and he comes back with a 28.5kg Spaniard then Honsu sends a customer there and he gets another one similar size.....more smaller ones caught also as mentioned.Back of Rotto is the West end reefy drop off area ie 10-30m!
