A 2 metre black marlin got stranded in a tidal pool here in Mackay. It swam off when the tide came in.
Sorry about the pdf on its side.

Whack a hook in it's mouth, strap yourself in and wait for the tide to come in.

Then hold on!!

Read a fishing article a while ago about catching marlin in that area.The fisho was spot casting live garfish at juvi marlin with heavy threadline gear in shallow water.Looked like fun to me !!! At least the old boy got out alright.
