Had a great morning out front from Barwon heads in about 45m heading to Queenscliff. Was out at first light on the start of the ebb and had our first tuna in 20min and another about a hour later both in the 40lb range. The 450mm spreader bar in pink with a pink paukula uzi skirted lure did all the damage about 20 to 30m out the back in shotgun position. I will mention local ocean grove tackle Australian Bangers make quality teasers that obviously work. Tight lines everyone

I run 3 mate. The teaser down the middle, cup or slant face skirt 10m in front of the teaser off one of the rod holder outriggers and a 16cm XRap magnum in red bait in close on the other. The XRap claims the bigger fish plus a few mako when going threw bait schools. Seems to be the best set up with my boat and gets the most results.
Tight line
