Life on the Line
On Wednesday 6th November at the IMAX at the Melbourne Museum, Al McGlashan launched his passion project about Southern Bluefin Tuna – the documentary Life on the Line. This had many supporters and contributors, and is a fantastic story about how sustainable management can turn around the decline of a species – the Southern Bluefin Tuna (“SBT”). SBT was driven to the brink of extinction in the 1980s as demand for its highly-prized meat increased. The documentary tells the story of how government, industry, research and the fishing community worked together, here......

Bunnings Community Fun Day
In support of our club, the Northern Metro Sportsfishing Club, we brought the boat out for the Epping Bunnings Community Fun Day on 19 October. It was a chance for local community groups to put on something for their community, but also to raise awareness for their clubs to try to get new members. We gave out gift bags with the boating safety book and fishing guide for Victoria, as well as hats and drink bottles, and some small plastic lure boxes. Hope to see all the new members at the next......

Enviously, I’ve watched people make the pilgrimage to Portland and get their barrel tuna when the weather is good during the week. Then by the weekend, it is too windy. But finally, last Friday, I took a long weekend and made the run down late on Thursday night, and caught my barrel bluefin tuna! It weighed 111.95kg after having......

The Marlin Chase
We recently had the luxury of having two weeks off work, chasing marlin over at Bermagui. Like most people, we planned our dates a year in advance, so that we made sure we had time off work and accommodation booked. We planned our trip to confidence with the new moon, and historical data that had said this two weeks in March should be the best. After arriving in Bermagui, we set out gear up, tested the drags on our reels, made a plan, and stuck to it. However, the first 9 days......

It has taken us a long time to get the towing right with the S8. First, the Ranger wasn’t compliant. Then the Landcruiser was unstable. But we think we’ve perfected our tow vehicle:...
