Cant wait for May

Trev’s, Kingies, jews, that all i really need to say isnt it…..

[Peter Bush]

Probably a silly question but why may??

[wayno60]

Pete,
I was just going back through the photos of last year and it was around late april into may that the GT’s were in big numbers on the run in tide, late in the arvo around the north wave break wall…

Last May was pretty epic, lots of big GT’s, Tarpon, Bigeyes, Kingfish, Mackerel, jewies, Tailor. It all depends on the bait though. Has anyone seen the GT’s yet? Last year they showed up in March though the word at the moment is they are still up the rivers.

There have been a few GT’s around the pipeline on high tide but not in any big numbers, but there are small queenies and big eye surface feeding on the run in on the southern end of the pipe.

Picked up a few north chan GT’s in afternoon bust ups up few months ago but then they vanished. Also since March, picked up a few tarpon on pearl sliders in the deep hole at night. PS striped & mac tuna have been busting up daily on the 30 metre line outside of the seaway and have destroyed my Sustain FG 4000 stock drag with the sheer smoking speed/power. In repairs getting Carbontex replacement/upgrade.

“pretty epic” that about sums it up right there…

FT, when you say 30m line do you mean 30m deep and if so that would put you on or near the bait grounds to the SE of the seaway????

[Jayde Mills]

Wayno the tuna have been from 30m deep east of the seaway till the northern artifical reef. Was also yellow fin on the 24s of broadbeach saturday morning and they loved the skitterbaits.

Jade are you waiting for bust up’s or are you trolling? also are you beefing up the trebs?

cheers

[Jayde Mills]

I have been trolling and casting at bustups when i see them. I have been using singles on my small stick baits and skitterbaits for awhile now

I caught a stripey and a few Mack tuna last Friday and Saturday. Casting 25g Gillies Baitfish into bustups out off the seaway. There were bustups everywhere about one or two kms offshore. They didn’t last for long so you had to be pretty close to get a cast in.

Can’t wait for the GT to come back.

Today (Friday) the tuna finally came up to the mouth of the seaway round 4pm within range of the shore anglers. Also The 20m line was thick left and right despite an obnoxious northerly. The 25g [River2Sea searock] and 15g [Gillies Baitfish] slugs seem to be dominating over poppers / twisties / skirts.

Finally wanted to mention that juvenile Queenfish were busting up all the way from loders creek turnoff to mid seaway on my way out. All under 30cm and were taking anything 5->15g. Trebles were doing too much damage so moved on quickly.

Good to see a true seasonal change underway 🙂
