Lakes Entrance continues to enhance its reputation as the swordfish capital of Australia with some impressive species again weighed in over the weekend.
Heyfield’s Jason Tyquin aboard Specksynder led the way with the weigh-in on Sunday at the Gippsland Lakes Fishing Club. Tyquin landed an impressive 136 kilogram monster, which he showcased with plenty of pride and excitement.
Other quality catches over the weekend included Dylan Nicholls (108 kilograms) and Mike Zhang (66 kilograms).
The Bass Canyons and its surrounding Continental Shelf off East Gippsland has become a game fishing hotspot, delivering exceptional catches of broadbill swordfish each year.
Massive fish weighing several hundred kilograms are landed regularly, establishing eastern Victoria as the swordfish capital of Australia.
