Tuna.

Hi North East.I'm not sure where you could get them in this country. There used to be a company on the South coast who sold them, but I can't remember the name of it. If I remember it I'll P.M. you.

Rok Max, that's the company I was thinking of.

I think they were just small ones and were full of launce - I've got launce lures but definately can't do 9 knots!

A shredded blue rubber glove with some tinsel all lashed to a 12/0 trebble and we're sorted. Fly tying on a grand scale

They are skipjack tuna and are being taken in the gill nets, some as close as half a mile offshore. One was taken this morning at Amble. They are not big fish, on average two to two and a half kilos. There are reports of them from Amble to Whitby.

Best method is a Kona Head trolled between eight and nine knots.

Only way I can get to nine knots is with the wind and tide behind me, even then you'd be able to cook your dinner on the engines.

I'm in the same boat as you mate (yes pun intended).
