Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Would anyone know if it is worth trying to target Tuna out from Pelorus sound i.e. how far out into the straight would you need to go to find the blue water/right temp conditions?

Yep I reckon it would be. Especially at the moment, blue water is real easy to find !! Albacore are happy in anything over 18 deg. Plenty of fish in 20.5 deg water in tasman bay at the moment.

The more splash out the back the better.... ie: run as many lures as you can handle

Most importantly keep your heads out of the boat, look for any signs of life.

The old man reckons its "boredom, interspersed with moments of madness".

Those moments are the stuff dreams are made of

Good luck

I was out past the heads the other week in a bit roughish conditions hoping to have a groper drop but being solo it wasnt a runner. Headed out on an angle towards Kapiti Island [but no where near it] and was in 16.8 degrees of water, in the 4 or 5 I guess km's I travelled I had hit 18.8 and it was still climbing when I turned around, colour of the water was a nice blue. I was following a line on the sounder my boy had been on a few weeks prior to me being there and they had seen tuna jumping. More than doable imo.

Thanks Guys
