What’s not to love about Bluefin Tuna fishing? They have become extremely accessible for everyone here in Tasmania in the last few years with their stocks bouncing back and it’s so great to see. It’s a true privilege to be able to shoot out after work and catch these incredible fish with topwater gear in Bass Strait. it’s extremely important we look after this fantastic resource so they can continue to look after us in the years to come. Single hooks, big fish friendly nets and quick reactions will ensure these fish go home healthy!
I love tangling with Southern Bluefin Tuna because they are big, fast and fiesty – the true athletes of the sea.
SBT are a precious and limited resource, so once you’ve enjoyed your interaction, release them carefully so they survive
I love fresh SBT – but look after that delicate flesh the second it hits the deck! Bleed and gut it then stuff it with ice to lower the core temp.
When you’re fighting a fish and you stop to rest, so does the fish – and that can lengthen the fight time.
