The Southern Bluefin Tuna have arrived, and for these anglers, Saturday 28th April 2007 proved to be a real screamer. School sized Bluefin were consistantly hooked through out the day. Most fish were in the 15 - 20kg category, but on the light gear they were still tough going. Here we see Darren Bennett hooked up to a Bluefin on 10kg line.

May 9th 2007. After a successful day catching small school Bluefin, we were only half a mile from home when three rods let out a huge scream. With line peeling off at an alarming rate,the reels were being completely spooled in seconds. We had three bluefin hooked up all well over 100kg. After one dropping the hook and a second fish breaking off we had only one left hooked up. Picture shows our angler at the start of his 4 hour marathon battle which lasted into the night.
