I will be spending a couple of weeks in the bay from tomorrow, anyone got any hints / tips as to where is a good place to target either Tuna, Marlin or Mahimahi?

Cheers!

They aren't in really close (90-100) yet.......drop lures in around 100 and troll out......they are spread out from 150 to 300+.......i hooked one in 300 off brett Christmas eve and something else destroyed one of my teasers but i never saw it.......
If you see one work that area all day.....dont go looking elsewhere......where there is one there are always more
