1st Jun 2011 May slow
I have to say May will go down as a very frustrating month for me. The yellowfin should have fired yet we saw next to nothing. The Canberra Yellowfin Tournament was won but a fish that was just 26kg. I am not sure why it was so poor but there is an upside and that everything seems to have been late so maybe, just maybe its all about to explode ... [ Read More ]

1st May 2011 blue marlin and bluefin
Yes I am slack but the with blue marlin peaking in late April and early May I have been distracted. In fact Sydney has just experienced its best blue marlin run ever with a number of boats scoring multiple fish. It wasn’t just Sydney either Kiama angler Sondal Benson had his best blue marlin fishing session ever, spending almost the enti ... [ Read More ]

19th Sep 2010 Weather is warming up and the fishing is hotting up
It really has been a weird season for the tuna. Even the longliners are finding it difficult with catches varying from shot to shot, one day there are heaps then its absolutely dead the next. The biggest issue I have encountered is consistentl ... [ Read More ]

16th Aug 2010 tuna stil around
Well I tell you what we have certainly suffered from some wild weather recently which has certainly made offshore fishing hard. Worse still the SST charts seem to be in a constant state of change. The nice eddy that was off Sydney for the Mako Tournament and yet just a few days later the same water had pushed well south. ... [ Read More ]

21st Jul 2010 Tuna time!
Tuna mayhem I just cant get over how amazing the tuna run has been this season. It really has been nothing short of staggering and so far I have achieved a PB bluefin, yellowfin and then topping it off with the huge bigeye for the Strikezone team off Sydney. However it doesn’t stop there because then we took it one step further ... [ Read More ]

28th Jan 2010 firing in feb
Late start for the marlin February really is the peak of the offshore season and with everything appearing to be running late this year things are looking good. At present there is a good bite of small blacks on the Gold Coast. This is certainly wasn’t predicted but it is still a good sign. Chances are they will be he ... [ Read More ]

12th Jan 2010 January is looking good
The water temperature is starting to jump up and the current is pushing hard down the coast bringing with it all types of tropical delights. At the time of writing the water is up around the 22-24 degree mark and reports are starting to flood in. Already there are reports of smaller mahi stacking up around the FADS and fish traps off Sydne ... [ Read More ]

29th Nov 2009 things hotting up
Offshore set to improve The offshore scene has been slow to put it bluntly and things are only just showing signs of improving. The Hervey Bay tournament held in November showed there is some red hot fishing on its way down – hopefully! There were good numbers of blue marlin out wide over the canyons with most boats finding multiple f ... [ Read More ]

25th Oct 2009 things are hotting up
Offshore looking to improve Spring is can be unpredictable time offshore anglers. On the south there are some reports of yellowfin and albacore wide off Jervis Bay. The best approach at this time of year I recommended trolling with a mix of deep divers and jet heads like the new Strikezone series. The key is to travel at speed to cover as m ... [ Read More ]

1st Oct 2009 odd marlin but good kingy season
Early marlin Well I was out chasing snapper for an episode of River to Reef’s new series and ended up catching a marlin. Fishing off Crowdy Head we found the snapper were seriously dead and with the pressure of filming upon us I headed wide for some bar cod action which was also crap. I don’t handle failure well so I was slowly ... [ Read More ]

27th Aug 2009 bring on spring!
Spring time delights Winter kings The last month has pretty average. The tuna are north and now the kings have slowed down off Sydney. But it is not all bad because spring is around the corner and this means lots of new exciting options from fisho's. There have been some mako sharks off Sydney. Andrew Hestelow went for a bot ...

10th Aug 2009 winter kings
Kings running big time Typically during the winter months there are lots of kings around including some big heavyweights. For me I have had some of my best sessions every and best of all we got all the action on film for the latest Strikezone DVD. Live baiting and jigging the reefs in 20-30fathoms we had a series of unreal sessions catching ... [ Read More ]

16th Jul 2009 bluefin time
I predicted we would see a good bluefin season this year in NSW and boy was that an understatement. I have just fished Bermagui with Craig and Brad Rushby and managed three bluefin in the 50kg range. For 12 year old Brad it was an awesome capture an definitely worth missing school for! After a stint at the Melbourne boat show displaying the brand n ... [ Read More ]

15th Jun 2009 bluefin comming and fin here
Exciting times Well what a wild season. Last year I was catching heaps of tuna at this time, yet this year it is all kings. I have been focusing on the inshore reefs off Sydney and have been nailing some great fish up to around 10kilos. Jigging has been producing a majority of the fish, but the livies have been getting the biggest fish. I hook ... [ Read More ]
