The cooler months in the Top End usually bring good numbers of Spanish Mackerel and Northern Bluefin Tuna into Darwin Harbour, but they have been a bit "hit-and-miss" so far this year.

Hooked this nice Spanno the other day, better than 30lbs at a guess, and lost a bigger one when the crane swivel on my leader broke. ...lost the lure too!

Heading out tomorrow for another shot at them if the wind is not too gusty. Maybe pick up that one that got away...!

The 10-weight will be on board this time, so hopefully the long-tails will play the game.
