Tuna around Rotto
Submitted by PeterR on Mon, 2023-06-26 22:12
Hi guys.
Noticed it's been very quiet with reports lately.
With good weather approaching wanted to share that its thick with SBTs south of rotto. 32 m depth west of Carnac right through to Parker point.
Get out there and hit them while the bait schools are hanging around.
Stick baits and shallow diving lures did better than skirts last few trips.

They look to be bigger than the ones in summer/autumn. We seem to find 2 - 4 kg models most of the time with some schools of bigger fish occasionally. What would you guess these ones at?

Hi Dave
The current tuna are much larger than the summer metro tuna.
Not sure on weight but almost double in size. So I have added a photo of my son in the harbour to give you a better idea. I reckon they will be around until bait disperses probably after next big blow.
