Lord Howe Yellow Fin Tuna.wmv

I caught this Yellow Fin Tuna on Lord Howe Island, off the rocks at Clear Place on a soft plastic lure using a Shimano Stradic 6000 and a custom made GLoomis Blank by Paul Hunter from Hervey Bay. It took me approximately 35 minutes to land it. The video has been edited down. We released the Tuna back into the sea after the video.

Not sure but I gather December to April probably the best months for Yellowfin. I have only been twice, once in winter but an awesome place. Can recommend Greenback Charters if you want a boat trip

Hi, it was great to watch a Yellowfin being caught from the shore and of course, released. I am really keen to explore Lord Howe and wonder if you could advise on whether Yellowfin are fairly frequent from these rocks and also what is the best time of year to stand a chance of catching one?
