We pride ourselves on the motto ‘take one fish’ and use it all.

Correctly handling bluefin is often overlooked, so I like to promote practical ways to ethically handle and utilise this revered marine species.
Andy @ Ebb Tide
At Ebb Tide Tackle, we’re loving seeing the bluefin resurgence! We let a ton of them go – doing it right so they have the best chance of surviving.
Richie Abela, Dream Catcher Sportfishing II
SBT are tough competitors. I love the challenge of the fight – and the joy of seeing someone catch their first big one.
Trish S
I love the hydrodynamic perfection of bluefin tuna.Their streamlining is amazing! Even their fins fold into slots to minimise drag.
Jonah Y
Fishing for SBT in Tassie got me addicted to bluewater gamefishing. They’re exciting to catch, delicious to eat…
Masaaki
How long your bluefin lasts depends on how you handle it. If it’s a well-handled iki jime fish, it can last more than 10 days in the fridge.
Stuart N
SBT have been a big part of my life for 20 years. I still love taking customers out to experience catching this amazing fish.
Lee VS
There’s nothing like hooking up to an SBT… the rush and fighting power of these fish is amazing!
Patrick D
I love tangling with Southern Bluefin Tuna because they are big, fast and fiesty – the true athletes of the sea.
Tim Simpson
SBT are a precious and limited resource, so once you’ve enjoyed your interaction, release them carefully so they survive
Paul W & fam
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.
Chloe L
When you’re fighting a fish and you stop to rest, so does the fish – and that can lengthen the fight time.
Lee R
If you’re going out to catch SBT, take the right gear. With super light tackle you have to fight them too long.
Al McGlashan
There’s something special about bluefin – but we need to appreciate them and do our bit to enhance the fishery, so it’s even better for the next generation.
Scott G
Catching multiple SBT in an outing is common in southwest Victoria, so many anglers practice catch and release – which means looking after it so it survives.
Jarvis Wall
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!
