The continued resurence of the Bluefin Tuna fishery around southern Australia is creating spectacular results for those using traditional tuna fishing techniques. But with fish available in good numbers it creates the opportunity to explore less conventional (and maybe more fun) techniques. Over recent years it's become quite common to stop the boat and cast lures at feeding tuna, usually a stickbait or a diving minnow style lure. But Lee Rayner has discovered that surface poppers can be devastatingly effective on tuna. Working a popper in the right way can result in visually spectacular, heart stopping surface strikes from large and fast moving fish.
