Warren Jolley was presented with the inaugural Jurien Bay Hotel Perpetual Trophy for the highest point scoring angler on day two, at the well attended dinner held at the hotel on Saturday evening.

As has become expected over the past 5 years of competitions at Jurien Bay, the third day decided the winners. An early start on a crisp morning, for those hopeful of getting points in this best two days of three event, saw many boats out wide by the lines in call to protect their positions.

Hopeful of a continuation of the warm marlin rich water of the previous afternoon those chasing marlin on the billfish side of the comp were disappointed in the cooler dirty water that returned beyond 500m, although Merv Russell’s “Centrelink II” did raise a marlin. A bonus was clean warmer water in a tongue that extended thrugh the 50m section between the banks. New boat “Short Black” had an excellent day resulting in crew Rachel Tees earning the coveted Ivan Erceg award as well as champion female angler.

Scoring species for the weekend were mahi mahi, mulloway, Samsonfish, Spanish mackerel, striped tuna, snapper and yellowtail kingfish. The marlin score for the comp was 10 raised, two hooked and none tagged.

Reflecting on the past five years of Jurien Bay events it appears that teams need to be ready for anything, with year one turning up sailfish and marlin, year two billfish again, year three a flood of tuna and last year record yellowfin tuna and near misses on billfish.

The presentation night was reduced a little in numbers due to those Mark Jamieson (L) and Warren Jolley with their World Record needing to get back to Perth for work or school obligations. We were captures - Image John Webber priveleged to welcome Col Fieldhouse from Shimano to make the awards to successful anglers and teams.

Final statistics for the event were a little down on the previous year despite more boats and an earlier event.

The club would like to thank the volunteers at the Jurien Bay Country Golf Club for their efforts in keeping everyone watered and fed, and particularly the Jurien Bay Volunteer Marine Rescue Group for their professional radio coverage of the event.

The whole Jurien Bay community got behind this year’s comp again and we would like to thank all those local sponsors who made it such a success.

Looking forward to a bigger, brighter event and more fish at the Shimano WA Open in 2017 with the briefing night on March 30th.

Favourites for the hole shot were the crew of Freeman 33 and they didn’t disappoint. The smaller boats took the lead across Thomson’s Bay, but once they rounded Bathurst Point and headed into the seas it was the bigger vessels that were able to stretch out their legs. Most teams headed to the north of Rottnest Island aiming for the northern end of the Rottnest Trench.

After a quiet start, Freeman hooked a marlin without landing it. Late morning saw “Cougar” radio in the first marlin tagged to get on the scoreboard. Things picked up after lunch with “Carribean” and “Rockall” hooking up but unable to

Afternoon again saw the bite pick up with a number of boats raising and hooking fish, with Rock “N” Roll able to get a tag in a marlin for Kevin Baker, his first in local waters. “Ashram” had a suspected blue marlin hit a lure and take-off on a typical run; unfortunately they could nothing to stop the run and eventually busted off.

A few notable events after lines- out on Sunday: Azura managed to land a sizeable wahoo, and the unlucky streak continued with the team on Southern Blue, hooking and dropping their third billfish for the day.

STRIKE 2017 | PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB 15 EXMOUTH CHARTER FISHING AND THE WEARY CHINESE

Josh Bruynzeel’s charter operation, On Strike Charters, has been a firm supporter of PGFC since he first got going in Exmouth. His yearly updates on Exmouth activity have always made a good read as does this summary of the 2016 season.

Wow! Another 12 months has slipped past, and another PGFC STRIKE magazine is issued. We hope you had a great year and the weather and pelagic critters have treated you well. We have had the pleasure of fishing with quite a few PGFC members this year. After the last STRIKE magazine we had the blast of fishing the Exmouth billfish bonanza. Exmouth’s second largest comp and Exmouth’s biggest billfish only comp. A hectic three day comp saw us raise 30 sailfish, hook 30 and land 29 of them. We won that comp with fantastic stats and moved on to the blue marlin season which we call our summer. The heavy tackle tournament held in December is a hotly contested comp with larger boats coming from all over the state to fish for the consistently largest marlin area in WA. Fine conditions paired with slow fishing saw us tag 4 blue marlin over 200kg, another win for “On Strike”. A memorable tag on a big blue saw us run down sea at 12 knots for at least 5 minutes subduing and tagging a beast of a blue on 37kg line. January and February resulted in so many Spanish mackerel and blue marlin it was epic! Catching a heap of monster Spaniards along the back of the reef and then popping out for some shots at XXL blue marlin was becoming routine, this place is mind blowing! March saw GAMEX held and some tough fishing for all saw our crew tag a bunch of fish over 6 days but not enough to keep up the pace for a win. The Chinese International Fishing Club (CIFC) contacted me early in the year and decided to spend a week gracing me with their presence. The order of the first day was to catch a famous Exmouth blue marlin. After 40 minutes of trolling on 37kg gear the right rigger cracked into life and the reel screamed with a beast taken on a Pulsator lure on the other end. The angler tired fast and passed the rod to his mate, who soon then tired and passed the rod to the next, 4 anglers down and the rod was passed to me! Hang on a minute, I’m here to yell, not wind! The rod duly went through the four of them again and unfortunately

STRIKE 2017 | PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB 16 the fish dived and tail wrapped. After a hard slog it surfaced and the decision was made to weigh the dead fish. The scales pulled down to 500lb. The CIFC flew in a taxidermist so they could encapsulate the moment and have this great fish hung in the club rooms in Beijing. The biggest fish they have landed so far… They asked to fish for the smaller black marlin the next day and I re-rigged the vessel with 24kg gear. We were about to approach the 90 metre contour as a big fish piled onto the left corner Pulsator lure again! An estimated 600lb black marlin smashed the lure off the surface and sizzled 50lb line into the sunset. The purpose of the day was to catch a smaller fish on the lighter gear, not a fish that outweighed the day’s previous efforts! A battle ensued in which I refused to help with the rod work. 35 minutes later, 4 very tired Chinese anglers got the leader in range for me to take the wraps and finish her off. 600lb of marlin lay boat side for an obligatory photo and was released to fight another day. The rest of the week was spent avoiding large fish for the group. April through to June saw amazing numbers of big GTs, Spanish mackerel and cobia. Red bass put in an appearance and yellowfin tuna were easy to score with on stick baits offshore. Nick Lorenz and Ben Weston from the PGFC visited to get Nick his first billfish for his birthday present. One hour into the day we switched a feisty striped marlin off a lure and the fight was on. The spread was cleared and perfect weather saw us get on top of the fish quickly, with Nick enjoying his first billfish on a spin rod. Bad luck befell us and the circle hook pulled close to the boat after a fun battle. The spread was reset and another striped marlin climbed on that afternoon for a quick battle, photo and release. Absolute glass off conditions made the fishing quiet, but Nick caught an impressive wahoo of the right corner lure. Yellowfin on stick baits were so common in the second half of the year that we chased other species just to get away from them. We had similar issues with Spanish mackerel, with 25+ fish days common on stick baits and poppers, trolling got boring with this many fish around. Extremely visual fishing had these Spaniards exploding onto these lures and sky rocket vertically out of the water with two trebles embedded into their jaws, great fun. It’s coming up to Christmas again, and I am preparing for the billfish bonanza again this weekend, clients from Weipa have just arrived for an 8 day charter and I feel like that bad actor on Groundhog Day. With 32 days straight fishing in front of me I’m strangely excited. I’m not dreading the workload at all. When will that next big bite come? What fish will it be? And what will it bite? Fishing is a drug, and I’m a long way down the path of addiction. See you soon Capt Josh Bruynzeel

The call was made to move on and try to lose the sharks, heading out a bit wider to the 60’s, hopefully to find some more red emperor. The fishing went quiet with only a few spangled emperor and other less desirables, so we headed north up the coast of Bernier Island to get in close to the cliffs and try for some trout and baldies on plastics in the washes.

STRIKE 2017 | PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB 33 2016 FAD SEASON TWO DRIFTERS AND A NEAR MISS!

Perth Game Fishing Club has been responsible for the current “recoverable” FAD program at the Rottnest Trench since 1998. The FADs are deployed in November of each year and recovered in May the following year for refurbishment. Club volunteers are responsible for the entire program. In 2015 the club implemented a checking program, with volunteer members diving to check the integrity of the connection between the top mooring chain and the top rope, a connection which has featured in a disproportionate number of losses.

During the 2016 season, PGFC experienced a breakaway FAD shortly after deployment. Being fitted with a satellite tracker the club was able to keep tracks on the FAD and recover it at what turned out to be the first opportune moment. The FSC FAD, which was deployed at the Rottnest Trench on 9th November 2015 along with 5 others, broke loose within 24 hours of its positioning and drifted in a south-westerly direction on strong currents directly into the wind. At that time, recovery was unable to be effected as very high winds were being experienced. Within a very short time it had drifted out of range of economic recovery. PGFC would like to acknowledge the assistance of Thereafter, it travelled northwards, did a couple of loops off Darren McCagh, skipper of the recovery vessel, Chad and Guilderton, all the time teasingly appearing to head inshore and Bill Mills of Blue Lightning Charters along with Randall southward, before moving out to 80nm offshore and picking up Brehaut and Peter Berryman of Geraldton and Districts a current taking it towards the southern group of the Abrolhos Offshore Fishing Club. Islands.

STRIKE 2017 | PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB 34 Whilst the FAD tracked to within 25nm of land a couple of times, the chances of recovery were frustrated by the lack of suitable launching facilities for a trailer boat big enough for recovery or the proximity to port for a commercial vessel. With the support of MaxSea current charts the drift could be predicted to a reasonable extent. As it neared Wreck Point at the southern tip of the Abrolhos Group, it became obvious that the next 24 hours would present the best opportunity to grab it. With the aid of Geraldton based cray fisherman Darren McCagh it was secured and taken to his home port. As it turned out, the FAD float fitted perfectly into the pot tipper on the boat. Unsure of when and whether the FAD would be recovered, a replacement was deployed on 2nd December. A footnote to this event is that when all the FADs were recovered in May 2016, the mooring gear from the original FSC FAD was recovered tangled with the replacement FAD’s mooring. All other FADs including the replacement remained in their deployment positions with the exception of a brief sojourn by the All Marine Services FAD which on 10th January went adrift as a result of a mooring rope chafing through on a sharp object on the sea bed. The problem was recognised within 12 hours and the FAD recovered by Life Member John Webber’s ”Mojo” just 7 miles south of it deployed position. The FAD was redeployed within a few days using Life Member Rhyss Whittred’s Wellcraft “Ashram”. A near miss occurred when the replacement FSC FAD shackle pin nearly came adrift and was reported by amateur divers. Long story short, Rhyss Whittred and Shane Anderson wrestled with the float and hammered the pin home before spinning up the spare nut and installing the locking split pin. The job was completed on a Sunday afternoon, not before experiencing a bruising from the 50kg counterweight hanging on the bottom of the FAD. Since fitting all FADs with tracking devices in 2013, there has only been one total loss in 25 deployments, this compares with as many as 5 in a season prior to using trackers. The recovery of errant FADs has reduced speculation around the cause and enabled better understanding of losses, which in turn has led to design modifications improving FAD endurance in what can be a tough environment. Breakaway FADs with trackers installed have always been rescued within easy reach of Hillarys, Fremantle or Mandurah and mostly within a couple of days. In earlier, pre-tracker times, floats had been found as distant as Marrawah in NW Tasmania and the Abrolhos Islands. Many were never seen again. The Rottnest FAD program has developed into a community service on the part of PGFC and the FAD sponsors. The program receives operational support from the South Metropolitan TAFE, Royal Perth Yacht Club and Cockburn Power Boat Association. Apart from the generosity of our naming rights sponsors, listed at left, financial assistance comes from Recfishwest, The Department of Sport and Recreation and Lotterywest. The Club is very proud to have had long term sponsorship relationships with FAD naming rights sponsors All Marine Services, Club Marine, Fremantle Sailing Club, Furuno and Hillary’s Yacht Club with Hillarys Boat and Tackle. More information on the FAD program can be found at www.pgfc.com.au/fads/ .

STRIKE 2017 | PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB 35 NEW MEMBER’S SUCCESS PHILIP CHALKO

We first met Philip Chalko and Matthew Schofield when they turned up unannounced at a FAD working bee held on 19th October 2015. Pleasantly surprised that morning that so many members had shown up and now two extras who said they had seen mention of the working bee on the PGFC website and decided to come along. It was terrific to meet them and by the end of the morning they were both members too. Coming along to the next social night they shared their plan to take off for Exmouth and get Matt his first billfish.

Starting in the Exmouth Gulf with lures they soon learned that live bait was the go and that technique was critical. An inspiring story for other new members and a great example of tenacity for those keen to catch billfish. Philip’s story:

Information for responsible catching, handling, releasing and tagging of Southern Bluefin Tuna. Photo: Al McGlashan Photo:

Research by: Funded by:

Perth Game Fishing Club thanks Dr Sean Tracey for making it possible to reproduce and include this article. Recreational fishers can each play a part in improving the Southern Bluefin Tuna fishery byapplying best practices for responsible fishing. Applying best practice considers the welfare of individual fish and minimises impacts on fish stocks. This Code of Practice has been developed basedon scientific research specific to the recreational Southern Bluefin Tuna fishery, existing science based literature on the impacts of recreational fishing and consultation with peak recreational fishing groups.

There is no legislative requirement to follow codes of practice; rather they are designed to provide fishers with fact-based information required to fish in a responsible way. Taking the time to read, learn and apply the information in this document will improve the recreational fishing experience for everyone.

Catching Southern Bluefin Tuna

Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) are a large fish with those Consideration of the type of hook you use can caught by recreational fishers typically weighing 10 – minimise damage to the fish. J hooks on trolled 50 kg, although it is not uncommon to catch fish in lures cause far less damage than treble hooks. excess of 100 kg. Is your fishing gear up to the job? Circle hooks should be used when bait fishing for Are you using gear that will minimise impacts to the SBT. fish? Are there things you can do to avoid degrading the quality of the flesh if you plan to keep it for eating, It is a simple process to replace treble hooks on hard or improve the fish’s chance of survival if you plan to body lures with single hooks. This will substantially release it? reduce the damage to the fish, improve its welfare and increase its chance of surviving if it is released. Minimising the time it takes to retrieve a fish to the boat will reduce the stress it experiences. Research has shown that a majority of fish caught when trolling lures are hooked in the mouth. So for Just like when a human exercises, lactic acid and trolling, J hooks are fine. When bait fishing however, stress hormones accumulate in the blood and muscle the fish has more time to swallow a floating bait tissue. Not only does this lessen the quality of the resulting in potential for deep hooking. Circle hooks flesh if you are planning to keep the fish to eat, but have been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of fish that are released after long fight times may take deep hooking. longer to recover.

Fight time can be reduced by using a heavier line class, buying a good quality rod and reel that is up to the job and educating yourself on good fishing techniques. Using heavier line is the best way to reduce fight times for smaller SBT. For larger fish a combination of heavier line and angling-boat driving experience is required. There are many experienced game fishers Minimising predation of hooked fish who can give tips on improving fishing techniques as well as instructional videos online. For any large fish a Hooked fish have a reduced ability to avoid gimbal and harness is essential to help you control the predation. Interactions between hooked SBT rod and reel.

Seals learn quickly and rewarded behaviour will increase interactions. Photo: Al McGlashan Avoid fishing in areas where predators are in high abundance. Never feed a predator, including fish carcasses after fillleting. Minimise fight time to reduce the possibility of a predation. Seals will learn to associate boats with a feed. If a predation occurs move away from the area before you resume fishing. Avoid releasing fish in areas where predators are present, particularly if the fish was chased during retrieval to the boat. 1 J hooks on trolled lures cause less damage than treble hooks. Circle hooks should be used when bait fishing for SBT.

Handling Southern Bluefin Tuna Whether you plan to retain or release a fish, it is going to keep and ensure that you have everything important to consider how you handle it. Poor you need to process and store the fish appropriately, handling can affect the welfare of the animal, including space in the fridge or freezer at home. reduce its chance of survival if released and Only take enough fish to accommodate what you affect flesh quality if you plan to keep it toeat. need. Avoiding fish wastage is a crucial part of being a responsible fisher. Retaining fish Bluefin Tuna are an iconic species regarded around Recreational fishing surveys the world for their high quality flesh, particularly for the raw fish (sashimi) market. This high demand Recreational catch is determined by specially has led to commercial overfishing, but stocks are designed surveys. These surveys are used regularly currently rebuilding under strict international fishing across many recreational fisheries to provide data management arrangements. Recreational fishers in for sustainable management. A survey method to Australia have the opportunity to enjoy this highly assess the recreational catch of Southern Bluefin prized species whether it is to catch and release or Tuna is currently being designed. So if you are serve up quality seafood. Recreational fishing effort invited to join a survey your participation will help has been increasing as the stocks rebuild. With this to ensure that fish stocks are being managed in mind SBT should be treated with respect and effectively. regulations adhered to.

Know the regulations before you head out fishing, Bring the fish aboard carefully, trying to avoid they may be different in each state. Think about damaging the fish as bruising will affect the quality the quantity of fish you need to keep, and note of the flesh. that highgrading is illegal. Catch regulations are a limit not a challenge! Landing the fish onto a padded mat or soft surface will minimise bruising the flesh.

For SBT, It is important to dispatch the fish quickly. The most a high profile species recovering from overfishing it effective and humane way to do this is by spiking the is important that authorities are aware of how much brain, a process known as iki jime (see website links). is being caught.

Then put the fish trunk into a fish bag, ice chest or esky with ice to cool the body temperature. Southern Bluefin Tuna are endothermic, which means they can heat their body, maintaining an internal temperature above that of the water. Once the fish has been processed it is important to reduce the temperature of the flesh as quickly as possible to avoid it degrading. An ice slurry is particularly effective as there is greater surface area contact than with just ice.

Reduce wastage by learning how to fillet Southern Bluefin Tuna effectively. There are some good instructional videos on YouTube.

Little, however, is known about the longer-term effects of catch and release fishing on tuna. Therefore If the hook can be seen, and is not in a position reducing stress on the fish is important not only to where removal will cause major damage, remove increase their chance of post-release survival but it with pliers or a de-hooker while the fish is still in also to minimise the risk of sub-lethal effects.There the water. are several practices outlined earlier that you can do to minimise stress and damage, and if you are Bleeding can look a lot worse in the water as the blood planning on releasing fish you should consider these is diffused.

The best way to reduce stress on a fish is to shorten fight time, minimise damage by considering hook choice and using good fishing and handling techniques. Photo: Klaas Hartmann

3 If the fish is deep hooked consider keeping it as part of your bag limit as the potential damage may affect survival after release, but if you choose to release it leave the hook in the fish and cut the line as close as possible to the hook, making sure the fish is resuscitated prior to release. Research on other fish species has shown that when a fish is deep hooked leaving the hook in causes less damage than trying to remove it and that the likelihood of survival is higher.

If the hook has caused damage to the gills the fish has a far lower chance of survival, consider keeping fish with gill damage as part of your bag limit.
