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...

Autumn is the time for big Blue Marlin and Yellowfin tuna off Sydney. Though it has been a little quiet offshore the last few days it is not the end of one of the best Game Fishing seasons I have experienced. This year we saw great numbers of Blue Marlin though not the real big … Continue reading Ambition report 5th.April’18 → The post Ambition re...

An interesting day out yesterday. After the frustration of having to come home early on Sunday when there was a pretty good bite going on with Blue Marlin and Yellowfin on the menu I was keen to get amongst the action.As soon as we left the Heads it was plain to see something had changed … Continue reading Ambition report 28th.March’18 → The post...

The good news is that Marlin are still here Blues and Stripes mostly and amongst them a run of Sydney Yellowfin Tuna. This run of Tuna was a regular occurrence in the past and was the reason the Sydney Game Fishing Club’s ‘Summer point score’ season was extended from mid-April to May. One can … Continue reading Ambition report 25th. March’18 → T...

At present there is a  Port Stephens Marlin frenzy going on.         The inshore fishing for the small Blacks hasn’t really taken off being more of a day to day proposition. However it’s more than made up for by the good numbers of larger Marlin further out. At the well known ‘Car … Continue reading Ambition report 26th. February’17 → The post Amb...

I have just come back from three days at Port Stephens Game Fishing. No two days were the same and each presented its own challenges. However with perseverance the rewards were there too. On Friday I took Matty and his friends out on what was a less than comfortable day. … Continue reading Ambition report 12th. February’18 → The post Amb...
