Bluefin tuna are the most heavily quota’d fish in the planet. Each country has a specific amount it can catch and the French and Spanish boats have been harvesting these fish for decades. The stocks of tuna have recovered dramatically in the last 15 years and are now off the endangered list. The UK bow has a 39 tonne quota a small amount of which is now available to commercial fishers in a pilot fishery but so far not been getting around £8 -£10 a kilo dockside fir these fish because there is no developed market. We’re hoping that next year we will have a fully open recreational fishery..watch this space.

You're probably right - although since we sometimes catch over 50 in a session the method seems to work. The spreader probably doesn't help either but it beats a single hook rig most of the time. We use size 1 hooks. Also they like the beads and have often been seen to attack those instead of the bait. A heavier lead takes the sport away, and sometimes we'll go even lighter than 4oz - down to 2 if the tide allows. Always fun to experiment.

Excellent, have been tempted by the water wolf but been put off by comments about water ingress and poor customer relations. Might have another look. Could you perhaps rig a vane with jubilee clips onto the bo to act as a rudder to try and keep it more stable? Bet you hate comments suggesting stuff when you've made all the hard effort to get the recording, sorry about that. Enjoyed it very much, so many times you think there's nothing underneath you. This is the only way to know.

And that my friend is why stocks are depleted, that attitude is the reason why it is like it is.

@@andrewshackleton3700 Nonsense that is not the reason why stocks are depleted it's because of commercial fishing or catching large numbers for sale, as I clearly indicated, you're trying to tell me someone who goes out and catches one or two for his dining table is the reason stocks are depleted? Don't give me that Bullshit! You'll never sell me on that one.
