TUNA…
Yellowfin Tuna and Bluefin Tuna. After these last few days of miserable weather finally a window of good weather is opening this week-end.
Before the bad weather there were reports of Yellowfin both to the North and South of us and with the currents coming predominantly from the South it could be bringing those much anticipated Bluefin closer. However there is also some push from the North so anything could happen with a late season Marlin possible.
Tuna Slam
With the SGFC Tuna Slam in progress it is time to get out there and give it a shot. The SGFC Tuna Slam runs from 1st. June until 30th.August.
Entry
To enter you must contact the club secretary ( 0402 615 814 ) via phone call, txt message or email (secretary@sgfc.com.au), you MUST do this before putting out to sea.
The Entry fee of $300 per boat covers the 3 months of June, July and August.
To weigh a fish a minimum of 30 mins notice must be given to the weighmaster during the week and longer if possible on the weekend. Karen Wright is the weigh master (0407 557 705). If she is not available call the club secretary. All Tuna must meet NSWGFA minimum weights.
Good luck to those that have already entered. I do know a couple of the boats will be out this weekend looking to get a jump start on the rest of you.

The prize money is comprised of the total of entry monies collected , less a twenty percent cut to the SGFC Club.
The prize money (less 20%) is divided evenly between the heaviest Yellowfin and the Heaviest Bluefin. If either one is not caught its prize money is jackpotted to next year’s Slam.
To get the ball rolling the club has donated an initial thousand dollars to the pot.
