Portland tuna fishing well

Portland has really heated up for the tuna fishing over the last 2 weeks, with lots of anglers catching their bag of fish. While most of the fish are still wide around the 'horseshoe' there have been reports of schools of fish moving in a bit closer. Customer Pat came in to the store to get set up for this style of fishing, and after loading up on some lures and getting his outfits rigged up he was off. Pat fished with a couple of mates last week and got in to mainly albacore along with the odd bluefin. Fish in the 15 - 20kg mark were the norm. Pat's whole spread of lures caught fish, which included Xrap 30's, Killer Vibes, Richter Soft Grassys and also smaller bullet head styles. 

Customer Haldun fished with his son and cousin down at Portland were they caught a stack of albacore and chunky bluefin out wide. They caught and released over 20 fish during their session and found that most lures and colours worked. The albacore seem to prefer something bright that stands out a lot, while more bluefin have been taken on hardbodies like Xrap 30's. 

James from Unreel Fishing Charters has been smashing the tuna down around Portland with customers, with most lures working well. James likes the Xrap 30's in particular for both albacore and bluefin. James picked up most of his fish out around 400m area. 

Customer Carlo went out last week and bagged out on both albacore and bluefin while fishing with some mates. Carlo caught most of his fish on his newly purchased Tiagra 30 outfits, with standout lures being the Soft Grassy in new UV patterns. Customers Zoran and Vito also fished the area last week and found that Xraps worked best of the bluefin, especially in pilchard and red head patterns. The albacore were hitting most skirts but blacks and bright colours like chartreuse and pinks also did the damage.
