January 2012: YFTV ventures east to the rugged Victorian coast (Australia) to explore the Bass Strait for new kingfish opportunites. What they find is is truly remarkable, an untapped world class topwater gold mine. The day starts off with a humble 7kg kingfish on a stick bait, a feat in its own right (in local terms) but mayhem soon follows as stickbait after stickbait is monstered by massive schools of rampant surface feeding kings. The surface strikes are just crazy, like hand grenades exploding, and the action lasts for 8 hours straight. Featuring Winga, Matt Stewart, Dave Standing and Kevin Buhagiar. This is episode 1 of a 2 part special. Rods are TEREZ 80lb outfits armed with Stella 10,000SW reels and 65lb Power Pro Braid. Stickbaits are Moutoukenmaru and Shimano Ocea Pencil and various others.

BLUEFIN TUNA STICKBAIT EXPLOSIONS – YouFishTV Australia
Winga and Joseph Fernand head to Port Fairy in Southern Australia to stalk and hunt southern bluefin tuna as they surface feed in the open ocean. The fish are shy and as a result are easily spooked by any trolling boat. Getting close to them is difficult. The solution, as demonstrated in this clip, is to cast stickbait lures into their path as they speed through the water near the surface. You’ll also see that casting accuracy and distance is the key to success and specialized casting gear is required not only to reach the tunny but to hook, fight and land them. The end result is not only exciting and explosive but amazingly effective. The is a partial episode of YouFishTV Australia
