Back to Port mac

摘要

In a previous edition of TBF1 penned an article entitled "The Winter Blues" which focused largely on a charter boat trip chasing bluefin tuna at Port MacDonnell. It wasn't a bad charter, however, only after we sorted out why we weren't catching fish.You see, somebody had brought some bananas on board which every fisho knows is bad luck! After my mate Wally threw the offending fruit overboard, our luck changed dramatically It was as if a switch had been flicked. The long hours of fishless trolling changed as soon as the bananas hit the briny immediately Wally hooked an 18kg bluefin and we all started to catch fish. We still laugh about that trip over a beer today. Meanwhile, we've had a trip back to Port MacDonnell, only this time without bananas and aboard a trailer boat. I took my own boat, a Classic Craft 5500 powered by a 130hp Yamaha. Ever since I bought this fibreglass trailer boat I've been planning to use it for a crack at southern bluefin.
