Makes sense, good structure
Makes sense, good structure but can only be fished in low to no swell. Cheers Man Overboard. This year looks to be a good year for Pelagics following the warm waters south.

wouldn't knock him
Hey fella's
Don't know if I would doubt this, I've fished the metro area for over thirty years and seen some spun out stuff,
Seen Three large Tuna at North Mole an hour and a half before dusk, they came right up to the rocks on the river entrance side
just over from the dunnies, would have been well over 20kg.
Saw a prawn in east freo (when prawing) that was half the size of a cray, missed it with the net though. still copping sh*t for that from my mate.
Also spotted a school of approx 30, 3-5 kg Mulloway when surfing at Secret Harbour in the gutter, yes, you
do expect mulla's at secret harbour but a school of that size was totally unexpected.

a few years ago whilst anchored up at skippy rock (eagle bay), in my little runabout, (them were the days,) I saw 2 x YFT, big buggers too , both jumped out the water together, almost synchronized , chasing what looked like slimy macks or something, saw them jump a cple of times,and never forget the long yellow we ripped anchor , put the lures on and motored after them hahaha all keen, but never saw them again,
believe it or not....

There was a 30 kg yellow fin
There was a 30 kg yellow fin free swimming in the peron ramp area about 10 years ago which was gaffed free swimming and went balistic.
It launched out of the water and ended up on the causeway rock wall flapping around before one of the boys went up on the boat and belted it on the head and retreived it and the gaff still attached.
It was Colin Beards son who was a S.Freo ledgend and a Richmond premiership player for confirmation!
