For those that haven’t seen the old gone fishin’ episodes coming up on YouTube I strongly suggest you have a look at them, they are great.

But one I haven’t seen before and got quite excited by was the Fiordland Bluefin tuna episodes. Watching the episodes the fishery sounds very similar to Tasmania.

Searching the work-up forum I couldn’t find anything about Bluefin tuna in Fiordland.

Does anyone know what time of year they are down there?(Graeme Sinclair mentioned Dec to April, very similar to Tasmania)

All southern, do they get jumbo’s (100kg +)?

Fiordland is a big stretch of coast, is there any particular area where they are concentrated?

How many shots do you get a day?

Over the last very years in Tasmania they have had a huge increase in the number of tuna they are catching there, it could very well be the same bio-mass.

Anything unique with the fishery? (In Tasmania they have a huge problem with seals eating the Bluefin while they are on they line)

Two tuna episodes:

ps. Also watch the old STRIKER episodes.

Please tell me more!
