    Mad, I mainly use deep diving minnows like Mad mullets and Deep Bombers, though SP's work just as well. It's more to do with location than anything else (ie GBR).

    Daniel, no probs, was good to meet you. Always keen for a trip (looks like that boat of yours could do with a fish-blood christening!)

    cheers,

    Some nice fish you got there Steve, conditions look great! Did you get the tuna by spinning slugs?

    thanks guys, yeah the tuna were caught on slugs (gillies). #I got a fair bit of action on video - here's a snap from where the barracuda bit my tuna. #If I didn't see it happen I would have thought it was a shark

    cheers,

    I reckon the barracuda would have been at least six feet long. Here's another snap taken from my video. What was left of the tuna weighed 4kg.

    cheers,
