Went out looking for Yellowfin on Wednesday. Conditions were very good out on the shelf and we found a flock of working birds immediately on reaching the shelf. We tried pulling lures to encourage a strike but nothing happened. In retrospect, should probably have started a burley trail, heaven knows we had enough berley. Travelled from Arrawarra to the shelf then South toward the area off Coffs proper. We got 1 small Mack Tuna for our trouble.
I am sure the Yellowfin are there, it is just a question of being out there when they make a show. We are contemplating hitting the shelf again this weekend. Probably head out from Arrawarra, burley if we find birds working or an active collection of bait. Our idea is to come back via the Big Island and see if we can find some Mangrove Jack, Blue-Bar or Kingfish. Let's see what happens.
I am a keen FREEDIVING enthusiast with a passion for SPEARFISHING. I started my Spearfishing in South Africa but now live in Coffs Harbour, Australia. With the Pacific Ocean quite literally on my doorstep, I am in what could be readily described as SPEARFISHING HEAVEN.
