Hervey Bay Tuna

We’re coming to the end of our Tuna season here in Hervey Bay, and the weather is cooling down, but at the moment there are still plenty of Mac Tuna around, providing some excellent sportfishing for our guests.

We’ve had a great season, and I’ve lost count of the number of Tuna we’ve caught so far –  22 fish were landed on one day alone!

I provide my guests with all the fishing gear required on my charters, so when it came to choosing gear for tuna, I had to look for something that was very tough. I decided on Daiwa Saltist Coastal 70 x H Rods Matched with Daiwas BG4000 Reels – it’s high performance gear that is durable yet affordable.

These are exceptional rods and reels for Longtail and Mac tuna, and after all that we’ve put them through, they are still performing faultlessly. In fact all of my guests have remarked on what great rods and reels they are, and I know for a fact they were so impressed that some have bought them after using them on the charter. I guess that says it all really!

If you’d like to find out more about this great gear, go to the Daiwa website. http://daiwafishing.com.au/
As the water temps cool, other species are coming online – there’s still some good Barra and Threadfin Salmon fishing to be had, and I know there are Permit, Queenfish and Mega GTs on some of the flats. I’ll be guiding more of our guests onto these fish in the near future.
