Can you give any more detail on what was actually caught and what do the points mean ie one point per fish or what?

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
Apathy is the enemy
Hi Tim,Jeremy
Most of the tuna where caught from Pt Cartright to Old Woman Is. The point system is as follows:Longtail Tuna 5 points,Yellow Fin Tuna 5 points,Mack Tuna 1 point,Striped Tuna 1 point,Big Eye Tuna 1 point.There was a mixture of fish caught to get the results. I'll get back to you on those soon.
Regards Steve
Ahh good stuff.. sounds like it must of been a good mixture then
how's the club going Steve?? i was a member for a year but i never got a chance to get to a meeting, things always turned up and stuffed me around.. bit of a shame
Tim

Hi Tim, Basserman,
Yeh the club's going great at the moment we have 85 or so members and growing strong.Our meetings are the 2nd monday of every month at 7.30 pm at the Kawana Community Hall. Should come down some time.Basserman they were placed from time of capture of first fish.

ill try and make it to a meeting one day.. always too busy fishing... any good spots i can maybe turn a few heads on the M'ba river?? ive been fishing it top to bottom for the last 2yrs on plastics.. know every nook and cranny.. and pretty much know where i can get atleast 1 fish on a plastic, but in spots im tossing some feathers and i just dont get any response yet i can drop a plastic in the same spot and nail a fish dead on... ive also been fishing under Sunshine Plaza.. getting alot of good bream and such on small white poppers but toss out a small white bread fly and they completely ignore it..any ideas?
Tim
Hi Tim,
Booby flies work well in that area. Afew of the boy's fish there and that seems to the fly to use.Also try s.o.s's in olive and white.
Regards Steve
Hi All,
THE fish that were caught were 8 Longtails and 88 Mack tuna between 41 competitors. But not all the competitors caught fish.
Regards Steve

Tim
