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.

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...

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...

Port Stephens firing is every Game Fishers dream and it fired last week-end. The weather however didn’t play ball. On the shelf where a lot of the action was taking place it was far less than comfortable. On Saturday I took Daniel and a couple of his friends from Wollongong out. We didn’t bother … Continue reading Ambition report 5th. February’1...
