hey guys

got the invite from my uncles boss to head out on his beautiful 625 cruise craft "spg"
headed out hoping to find some marlin action and trolled skirts around the 18mile, after half an hour we hooked up to a nice 8kg dolphin fish, landed him and in the ice box he went and got back to trolling and soon we hooked up another dolphin fish, 8kg landed and in the icebox.

but still the marlin didnt want to play the game, after a good 2 hours of getting hits on the shotgun but no hook ups we saw it, a small black lurked behind the teaser and we soon had him on, fought him to the boat when he eventually broke us off.

the rest of the day we had 5 so hits but no hook up and managed to raise another bill only for him to swipe at two gar and miss the hooks both times.

a great day weather was perfect and there was alot of action, hope to get out there soon and catch that illusive first billfish.:D

Sounds like a good day out!

Wishing i was out there....

Much bait around the 18 mile??

Might have to put the renos on hold if the little blacks start firing...

yes there was bait around but not on the surface, not much bird action either, all the bait seemed to be down around the 25m markin nice big bait balls
