trelly's fishing and hunting world shepparton

catching blackfin tuna   Blackfin tuna are the smallest member of the genus Thunnus (the true tunas: bluefin, yellowfin, bigeye, and others); the world record stands at 49 pounds, 6 ounces, taken off  Marathon, Florida, in 2006. The North Carolina state-record blackfin , taken in 2011, weighed 40 pounds, 11 ounces. But they’re prolific; the tasty critters are the only tuna species not listed on Greenpeace’s Red List of endangered marine species. Each winter, blackfin gather in the warm Gulf Stream water as it swirls over the rocky edge of the Continental Shelf, gorging on huge clouds of baitfish caught in the considerable current. Also during winter, the cold Labrador current pushes down the Atlantic coast from the north, colliding with warm,  clear Gulf  Stream water from the south. Where the two currents meet, the water temperature can differ up to 20 degrees. On the cold side of the break, the water is dark, dirty green; the warm side appears clear blue. The current and

Fishing trips in Sydney Australia SYDNEY KINGSFORD SMITH AIRPORT Located about 5 miles south of the city center, the north-south  runways of Sydney’ s airport  extend for most or all of their length into Botany Bay.  Australia ’s busiest airport handled nearly 43 million passengers in 2017. While  Botany Bay, in the shadow of Sydney , has a great deal of fine sports fishing (and has been a “Recreational Fishing  Haven” since 2002, a  government designation meaning all commercial fishing is banned), some of the very best spots are right along the airport’s runways. I fished there many,  many years ago with Capt. Scott Lyons, who fishes the bay year-round (but more so in summer  —  December through February), and has for  20  years.  He offers this rundown  of  fish targeted here: kingfish (aka southern yellowtail) and other trevallies, bream (a  type of porgy), tailor (aka bluefish in the United  States),  flathead  (think  giant  lizardfish)  and Australian salmon. “Trev

beautiful red fish wallpaper  I caught this beautiful snapper off the coast of Madagascar. I'm anxious to know more about it! Phillippe Pletincx What you have there,  Phillippe is a great example of one of the more distinctive tropical snappers: the blood-red, or hump head snapper (Lutjanussanguineus). This species occurs only along the west coast of  Africa from Natal,  South  Africa, north to the Red  Sea, including the waters around Madagascar. Adult blood-red snapper frequent rocky and coral-reef areas to depths of around 300 feet during the day. These fish have been observed by some anglers to prefer slightly silty bottoms, where they forage for crustaceans and mollusks, mainly at night and often in relatively shallow water (25 to 40 feet). Juvenile blood-red snapper is relatively colorful, with a broad brown bar stretching from the upper jaw to the dorsal fin and a series of reddish lines along their sides. Adults, such as your fish, however, tend to move to deeper w

Best fish trolling techniques Hensley, of French Look fame, probably has as much time fishing the rough conditions of Cape  Verde, Ghana, and Madeira as any captain alive.  Today he runs Chupacabra, a 64-foot Hatteras based in Los Cabos, Mexico. “The best way to troll is to fish in the trough,” he says,  “which requires makingconstant adjustments. I like to troll aggressive, slant-headed lures for big marlin. That’s easy in calm water, but more difficult in big seas. The lures want to fly out of the water, so keeping them down and swimming becomes a major concern. I can switch to flat or cupped heads, but if  I work hard to keep my approach angle correct for the sea direction and height, I can make the slant heads work properly.  This works even in Cape Verde, where the seas can look like the moguls on a ski slope.” Roberts, another big-marlin skipper who prefers lures over baits, chimes in. “The object is to keep the lures in the water, whatever it takes,”  he says. He spent m
