Spring is usually a great time for fishing off Sydney. Out wide Tuna usually show up with Albacore and Yellowfin in the mix. Also on the offshore reefs the Kingies should be in residence. Around Browns Gemmies are still around with the occasional Blue Eye as well as Mako and Blue sharks ready to steal … Continue reading Ambition report 10th.Septem...

Reports of Yellowfin tuna have been coming in over the last couple of weeks. Those ‘fin encountered have been in two basic classes biggish ones over forty kilo’s and others going fifteen to twenty five kilo’s. However as we all know any Yellowfin is a good one. The main problem other than locating the fish … Continue reading Ambition report 24th....

I am afraid I have to say it but the Pakula ‘Brad ‘J” bullet has done it again with the capture of a very early season Spearfish. I went out on ‘Shukudu’ owned by Gerard Searle on Monday to see if we could find those elusive Yellowfin. The damned things are out there but not … Continue reading Ambition report 22nd.

November often sees an early run of the pelagics i.e.  Mahi Mahi and Marlin.  As the warmer water up North really starts pushing down the shelf it bring with it the first of these oceanic wanderers. However this October after what has seemed the longest run of bad weather and bad timing as far as … Continue reading Ambition report 29th. October’18...

It’s that time of year again –  Billfish time.         November is when the warm water currents from the North start to move inshore and push further South. Consequently with this warm water come the great pelagics Marlin  Spearfish Wahoo and Mahi Mahi. It is also when club fisher people get excited about … Continue reading Ambition report 5th. No...

It is summertime and the first Marlin of the season still hasn’t been caught or tagged by a SGFC member in Sydney waters. It was with this in mind that we went out last Saturday. The charts were showing good water wide and North of Browns so that … Continue reading Ambition report 3rd.December’18 → The post Ambition report 3rd.Decemb...

As the winter days subside and the water temp slowly rises for spring the inshore reefs are beginning to re populate with good numbers of quality fish. The last few trips have produced some crackers! Nice sized Snapper Morwong Flathead and bonus Pearl Perch Trag and Dory. So far certainly promising prospects for the [...] The post The rains have a...

Recently my client requested that I “re build” his Calstar 7455XXH 37kg Stroker and convert the Hyperlon fore grip to leather! Big Job though so worth it as this weapon has proven its worth over and over hauling huge Sharks to 800 lb. So the project began stripping down the guides and fore grip [...] The post Rebuilding Big Blue appeared first on...

I went out yesterday looking for the Tuna. I’d heard the long liners were working wide and South of Heatons so headed off in that direction. It was a bit lumpy going through the heads but eased up a few miles out away from the backwash. There were just a few mountains with which to … Continue reading Ambition report 11th.

It is Tuna time off Sydney and the bite is in full swing. We headed out at 5:30 yesterday morning heading for where the bite had been on Wednesday. After my fruitless day on Tuesday I and the crew were keen to play. We set the lures out North-East of Browns and proceeded to listen … Continue reading Ambition report 13th.

After over three weeks of nothing to say about the Game Fishing  off Sydney I needed to say something so….. Game fishing off Sydney has certainly taken a turn for the worse. Actually it has been pretty hopeless for the last month.  The weather hasn’t helped either. After what was amongst the best Smmer and … Continue reading Ambition report 4th’ J...

Yellowfin and Albacore are the prime target at this time of year with Kingies and dropping on Browns thrown in for good measure. The warm currents are slowing and cubing is also on the agenda. I took Brad his groomsmen and future father-in-law out on Saturday. The aim was to catch live bait which we … Continue reading Ambition report 11th.June’17...

Striped Marlin and Mako Sharks as well as Tigers were all the news off Sydney last week-end. Two Tiger Sharks over 450 kgs. were taken as well as another of unknown size lost after several hours of fighting. With the thought of XOS Tiger sharks in mind I went out with Glen and Karen on … Continue reading Ambition report 28th. May’18 → The post Amb...

Tuna and Marlin: Striped and Blue Marlin along with Yellowfin tuna Mahi Mahi and some huge Tiger sharks are still haunting Sydney waters. When you consider that it is nearly June the fishing is quite incredible. I suppose what is really remarkable is sea temperatures still around 23 degrees. Even though all the above … Continue reading Ambition re...

After the great Yellowfin Tuna bite two week-ends ago when we caught three Yellowfin up to 73 kilos I was really keen to get out there again. Unfortunately it wasn’t until the following Wednesday when opportunity arose. Wednesday was going to be our last chance before the weather moved in. Unfortunately reports that I’d read … Continue reading Amb...

Yellowfin tuna and big ones too are off Sydney at present. I haven’t caught one weighing less than 60 kgs. in the last few weeks yet with a few going over 70 kilo’s. How long this will last who only knows. I went out on both Saturday and Sunday and the fishing was quite … Continue reading Ambition report 7th. May’18 → The post Ambition report 7t...

Blue Marlin Yellowfin Tuna and Striped Marlin are on the bite off Sydney. The Sydney Game Fishing Club got it right for the  ‘Peter Goadby Memorial Tournament’ last week-end. Though the weather wasn’t perfect the fishing more than made up for it. Over the last few weeks … Continue reading Ambition report 30th. April’18 → The post A...

I took Tony and his wife Anne from Mackay out Game Fishing off Sydney on Monday. After my success the previous Saturday I decided to go South again. It was a mistake it was a beautiful day but still a mistake.  The only fish I heard about when we got in  were  a  200 kilo … Continue reading Ambition report 25th.April’18 → The post Ambition report...

Yellowfin Tuna –  after seeing a couple of Longliners coming into port yesterday I thought I’d give the Yellowfin tuna a shot. I planned to head out wide to where the charts were showing a good temperature break then search along it. As luck would have … Continue reading Ambition 21st. April’18 → The post Ambition 21st.

Whilst there were Marlin Yellowfin and some big Mahi Mahi caught over the week-end it was pretty slow going considering the number of boats fishing. The water looked great good temperature the right colour and current lines all over the place. I marked several fish but could not induce them to bite. There was a … Continue reading Ambition report 9...

Last weekend coinciding with The Port Hacking 100 Tournament was an interesting if not frustrating couple of days to go fishing but it did have its highlights however the fishing was disappointing when compared to the last few weeks with Striped Marlin. Saturday The Saturday was very quiet a few Striped Marlin tagged and as … Continue reading Ambi...
