Overview: about slender tuna
Fast and powerful tuna found in bays off QLD, WA and TAS, growing up to 1m and 12kg. Target with small to medium jigs, spoons and metal slices in 10-100m, often schooled and feeding on squid and smaller fish. Good to eat with a high oil content, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, making it a healthy catch.
