Bluew<strong>at</strong>er hunting in Victoria<br />
The run of southern bluefin tuna off Portland and Port MacDonnell was strong again this year with<br />
fish being caught from February to June. Fish over 100kg were caught on line, but most were<br />
between 20-35 kg. A few keen spearos had a crack <strong>at</strong> the <strong>Australian</strong> Record of 28 kg. A few fish were<br />
speared including this 16 kg tuna by Murray Peterson. This fishery is getting better and better each<br />
year and it won’t be long before a seriously big fish is taken!<br />
