Slender tuna caught by the Betabug! Classic thrills for the crew of @haurakiadventures , congratulations!
Never a dull moment in the local gulf with big Brydes whales now much closer into the actual gulf, Orca enjoying their hunting in the Firth of Thames and tuna being caught too! What? Yes that full moon this week bringing itโs usual twist to fishing adventures out in the Hauraki. But tuna being caught on the famous Betabug is classic stuff, especially in October and not too far from Little Barrier makes for epic fishing. A welcome surprise and stunning catch, congratulations to the crew of @Haurakiadventures! If you can get out and target these tuna Lil’ Squidwings trolled is another effective way to target and enjoy the sound of your reel in full flight.
