We have seen masses of baitfish turning up in Tin Can Bay and schools of mack tuna and Watson’s leaping bonito terrorising the bait balls.
One last thing: from me, Emma and the whole crew at The Chandlery Bait & Tack- le, we would like to say a massive thankyou for the ongoing support you have shown us to help

Fishos have also been picking off nice size school mackerel.
