With the height of Tuna season on our doorstep, and the Jones's Tackle "Sportfishing Speedsters" seminar fresh on the mind, both seminar attendees and regular costumers have reported fantastic numbers of Tuna in the South-East Corner.
Successful trip reports have boasted excellent numbers of Bonito, Watson's Leaping Bonito, Mack Tuna and the light tackle sport-fishing heavyweight - Longtail Tuna.
With large congregations of baitfish, fast-moving tides, and densely-populated Tuna schools it has made for explosive surface feeding action.
Successful lures have ranged from 18g, 25g and 35g "Mucho Lucir" casting slugs on Bonito and smaller Mack Tuna, to the ever-reliable terminator "Snap-Back" soft plastic accounting for the larger Mack Tuna and the majority of Longtails. On occasion large Longtail Tuna have been found in very shallow water chasing large baitfish such as Finny Scad and Garfish. Skipping surface lures are a good imitation of these baitfish, and usually provide amazing surface strikes.
