No yellowfin tuna catches logged yet — log one and you'll be recognised here.
Premier east-coast pelagic — runs from northern NSW down through southern NSW in late summer and autumn, with strong runs off QLD and WA. Targeted by trolling skirts and live-baiting on the shelf and current lines. Top-shelf eating and a stunning sportfish on heavy spin.
Generally fished with heavy tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
