Try asking in the yak fishing forum, you'll get a bite there.

Not keen going more than 5kms off shore though and conditions would have to be good. Not sure my Revo STX would like a yellow fin but there is only one way to find out. Keep in touch perhaps we can get a few other crazie yakkos up there for the trip.

Murphys law says you will hook a yellow fin on the Revo

Hey Ben. You aint texting now mate. I thought they taught you to spell at Trident.  You know I'll take you out and drop you off miles out to sea. I'd love to see you being towed around the ocean by an angry fin.

**** me. The future of our country.

Ok now I def keen for one nice weekend. Just so you can say that you gave it a go. Yellowfin from a yak no worries.

Right then we need a gear list next:

Trace
Line weight
What to do when you hook one.
What grounds do you want to fish?

You might find a marlin a bit easier than a blue fin - I'd be keen to have a go on a yellow fin if I was up your end of the country

We've got 400lb trace for marlin - but you wouldn't need that for Yellow fin - you wouldn't be able to put much pressure on them when they are straight under the yak

Ye ha bring on the blue water

choice now were geting some where. would be orsum to have you as stand by boat biggear will do my best to give you sum good footage tho it may be just the bottom of my yak. As for gear I plan to use 24kg main hopefully on my alvey if that turns to crap then i will go alittle more high tec but i recon the alvey can handle it and iv not heard of a yellow or blue fin on an alvey before so that settles that. I hope to hook them while chunking and life baiting tho may try trolling if all else fails. as to where? I think little tackel I mean biggear is the one to pick that as hes done abit up that ways. the house i hope to get for us is about 5 mins from lottin point. And what to do when we hook up? .... **** myself i think!!! man i cant wait!

MAD but will watch with intrest

any 1 got sum usefull advice on where in the later half of summer we should be be looking at ? what you think biggear?

Mmmmm I am as keen as to have a go at this but have no real big fish experiance.
