WILD ACTION PACKED DAYS ON YELLOWFIN and ALBACORE
What a fabulous couple of weeks we have had on Billfisher and Broadbill. It has been a decade or more since we have had consistent catches of good sized albacore but they are back and back with a vengeance,
We have been trolling them on bib less minnows and jet heads and have sent many crews home with ample stocks of these great table fish.
As well as albies there are small yellowfin mixed in with them making the day just that much more interesting.
The fish are feeding on Spring hatch of light fish and tiny squid, ascending from the ocean's floor
This happens this time of the year as the tiny hatched fish and squid group up in schools having just hatched and that's like having a free for all at the tuck shop for the schooled up albacore, yellowfin and stripeys as they feed ravenously on our tiny hatchlings.
The fish are being found north of Browns and wide of the southern Canyons
Em ilia's group on their girl's day out caught yellowfin all day and have had many a barbeque since.
The Mike Goodrich fished and along with their lovely wives Tracy and Mary had an action packed day on Broadbill catching stripeys, yellowfin and albacore.
Then Johnny Boo and the Human Winch Anthony Chaffey along with Daniel, Frank and Mark Rea all caught some big albacore on Glenn Hunter's Billfisher.
On the same day we also bagged out with Brett Skinner , George and Ross's crew
These fish whilst small are great fun to catch and better to eat.
Give me albacore everyday over yellowfin they are "The Chicken of the Sea".
We will catch these great sportfish right through to December as we predicted last column.
