Is it just me or are the rest of you in complete shock at the size of that super fish, namely the 565lb Tuna. Tuna Hunter you will have to give us more than just a picture, elaborate so we can all get out our 12/20 class rods for one of these beauties :lol: :lol:

i heard it was only adrian molloy got amongst them last year?
Try [url]http://www.tunacharters.ie/[/url] for more info, but I think even Adrian failed to catch and release one this last season.
This site usually has a good report on it [url]http://www.rosguill.com/[/url] but sadly it seems to be missing at present [keep on trying]NOW WORKING AGAIN!!!!

No tuna landed anywhere in Ireland last year. There was a few hooked but got off again. Hopefully this coming season there will be a few more about. Check out http://www.tunacharters.ie/.

Live mackerel didn't work for them K2 over the past three years. It was suggested that because there were so many boats fishing them from Downings last year that it spooked the fish a bit and made it difficult to get a response. Other thing I heard mentioned was that the sauri baitfish were very very small and that the tuna were keyed into them and ignored the conventional squid bars. Must have been an incredibly frustrating year for the charter boat men. Half a tuna on a tubi boom Paul, sort out any porgies!
