Laguna Bay is slowly starting to fire and coincidentally the dreaded 'Weed' is also starting to show on the North Shore and on Main Beach.

While this is not a good sign for beach goers it usually heralds the arrival of the pelagics in the bay, as local yak angler Bill 'Billybob' Watson (right) was able to confirm on Sunday.

Bill was paddle trolling a Gold Bomber behind his Perception Swing 'Angler' fishing kayak yesterday morning when it was slammed by a 6.2kg Mackerel Tuna on the outer edge of Little Hall's Reef.

Half and hour later on his way to Big Hall's Reef he hooked onto a 6.5kg Mackerel Tuna 30 metres away from a large bait boil.

As the boil was being worked hard by three rather large Bronze Whalers that were right on the surface, he didn't play that fish out for too long.

Bill was armed with a Wilson Live Fibre rod and a Shimano TSS4 reel loaded with 30lb Platinum line.
