South-western coast

Reports from Port Fairy, Portland and Port Mac have still been trickling through during the week and with some decent weather forecast over this coming weekend there should be plenty more to come. Both albacore and tuna are still being caught, with plenty of 'barrels' around during the week. Bluefin to 140kg have been weighed in at Port Mac, while fish to 125kg have come in at Portland and SBT to 90kg from Port Fairy.

Most of these larger fish from 80kg + have been caught around the 40 - 80m area, with the 50m depth a fairly consistent area for big tuna over the last few years. Larger skirted lures up to 10" have been used as these barrels won't knock back a decent prey item, with most of the bait at the moment being squid, pilchards and sauries, and with the odd small dolphinfish or smaller tuna around these big fish won't knock them back. Lure colours haven't been as particular, with greens/lumo, blue/purples and black/reds all getting fish. Make sure you have some variety in your spread and you should come across a few fish, as there are still plenty of tuna from 50m out and albies around the 400m + area near the Horseshoe.
