OFFSHORE

Rob Mizzi from Sharkmen Fishing Charters headed out offshore from Port Phillip Bay and while they found the tuna it took some work to get them to bite.

James Rogers from Unreel Fishing Charters found the tuna for his customers over the past week with most success coming in the rougher weather much like we are use to for Portland bluefin.

Mario Dugonjic and Vitaliy Russo headed out from the heads offshore and managed to catch 2 nice bluefin tuna before the rest of the boats caught up with them at sunrise.

Jake Over reports in after getting in to the local tuna outside the heads over the weekend. Well done mate.

Michael Buxton from The Future Fish Foundation fished offshore from Port Phillip Bay on Saturday and landed this nice tuna on the troll.

Spreader bars with small 4 or 6 inch skirts and even small soft plastics have been the most successful this past week as the tuna seem to have become picky and matching the hatch to the small white bait they are eating is key.
