Fishing with Daniel Finch from Seisia. For those who do not know, Daniel is Susan's second son. Dan is a guide working for John Charlton in Seisia. Daniel motors in to pick us up at the Seisia boat ramp. The weather conditions were not the best, winds to about 15 knots were predicted and did eventuate later in the day. Dan decided that we would travel south to take advantage of the tide. He predicted good tuna schools to the west of Red Island.
Dan nailed the first tuna. He had dropped one very early in the piece but I managed to gaff this one one for him. We kept them to feed to the sharks later in the day.
Guess who got the biggest fish for the day. Bloody beginners luck. A Northern Bluefin Tuna. We didn't feed this baby to the sharks. Daniel filleted it and Susan has been eating it for days.










Not to be outdone, I managed two mackerel tuna. This one on my G.Loomis rod. Both fish about the same size 4 /5 kilos
