04.01.2022 With plenty of tuna biting in Victoria, Tasmania, NSW and the South East of South Australia, we wanted to share the National Survey of Recreational Fishing for Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) that our stars, Jamie and Dan, from Seamaster Port Lincoln, contributed to. In this 141 page report, youll gain an insight in to the SBT release rates across private and charter boats, catch and effort estimations and the trends in fishing effort, fish availability and fishery quality, jus...t to name a few. For those not sure where to get a guarantee catch of SBT, well let you in on a secret, the report says: Tuna fishing effort was heavily concentrated in the waters adjacent to the Tasman Peninsula in southeast Tasmania. The lower East Coast, mid-East Coast, South Coast and Pedra Branca were also important areas for tuna fishing, with effort dropping away in the remote South West of Tasmania. There was limited fishing effort on the mid-West Coast originating from Strahan, negligible effort on the North West Coast, and there was no tuna fishing reported on North or far-North East coastlines. Read the results here: https://imas.utas.edu.au//National-Survey-of-Rec-Fishing-f Did we mention we stock all the tuna fishing gear that youll need to hook one of these big beauties?!
