Thanks guys,
Practicing for the Tuna comps, by chasing other species seems to be working.

Hervey Bay Comp....we caught Golden Trevally,Queenfish,
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #Dart,Spotted Mackerel and I had a small
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #Black Marlin about 35kg on for 1 1/2
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #hours, before it wore through the leader
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #beside the boat.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -1st place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -2nd place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -champion team overall.

Mooloolaba Comp....see photos and we also caught a heap of
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #Longtail Tuna, in Hervey Bay.We even
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #had a couple of triple hook ups,that was
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #mayhem.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -1st place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -4th place.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # -champion team.
Now for the Bribie Tuna Comp,the system seems to be working. So any ideas on where to go and what to chase will be considered?

thanks.....Shawn ;D

How about practising in some wind ;D Im told the waverider has plenty of 2-4 kilo dolphin hanging round it atm, the current runs up to 4knots out there, would be a challenge ;)

Might have to wait until the weather settles down a bit.Perfect conditions at the moment, :'( :'( http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm14.gif a strong wind warning is current, 20/30 knots and swells to 3 metres.

great picture book boys!

have caught one about that big on baitcaster and 30lb up north would love to have a go on the wand though! ! Maybe oneday but i reckon a little hand to fish combat is always good for the heart rate and the sphincter.

pucker up boys love your work

Shep, you get one at Hinchy and it does that YOU can get the bloody thing - this black duck ain't gettin' out of the boat no more. Dem snappin' handbags is big enough to eat you and me.

Because it's blowin' it's ring off still - I'm thinking maybe a $2 coin with a hole in it. Head down to the local skate bowl. Drop a cast to the side or general area - small strips, see the take and hang on ;D

Gaff optional :D

I like it, but can I gaff them and still throw them back? ;D

Why not go catch jet skiers, not allowed to throw them back . noxious species.

Thats not a bad idea Scotty, might have to use my 15wt though. ;D

Great sequence of shots. A dirty fighting golden.

Looks like Little Woody. The conditions look great. Sure beats 20 knot winds and chop.

Sight-fishing for Golden is greate fun. I didn't get up to Hervey Bay much this summer. Maybe next year.
