Young Xavier Ellul fishing with his old man caught a nice dolphinfish off Portland today, along with good numbers of tuna and albacore.
Off Port Fairy in close there was plenty of visual activity with birds working and tuna busting the surface, but as has been the story all week they were quite finicky – Ashley Dance & crew caught just the one, as did Andrew Westlake fishing with Matt, Jarrod and Damian. Their one took a Pakula Micro Uzi in clear blue colour. Ashley had a bottom drop and caught a small Tassie Trumpeter as well. Simon Craven (pictured below) with Ash Pilkington told a similar story.
Scott Gray headed out off Port Fairy late arvo and did well.
Nathan McSween and Terry Beasley were also off Port Fairy however headed out wide which proved a good option, catching 13 tuna – small skirts working well.
Port MacDonnell Fishing Charters also got amongst the dolphinfish (aka dorado or mahi mahi)
Kelvin, Bobby, and Ruben Meloury headed down to Johanna and caught good numbers of salmon off the beach.
