Went deap sea fishing with STRIKE. A very lovely early morning out. Between 6 people on board we in total managed to pull out 11 tunas. Excuse the weight, length, and lures being left out since I have no idea what was used nor did we weigh the 3 me and my partner managed to bring out. It was somewhere in Shelly Beach there's a launch and you can book boat there to go out.
