By little black i mean a fish about 1.2-1.4m without its bill, no 2.5 meter fish head to tail but i guess its been montioned u cannot pick what jumps on the hook

Give a man a fish & he will eat for a day !
Teach him how to fish
& he will sit in a boat - & drink beer all day!

That is quiet a decent marlin if its 2.25m

Pretty normal for Marlin down here, I did hear of a small one being caught, around 50KG, but that's very rare, and I only heard about it, nothing confirmed, so who knows if it's true, the ones caught today were 2 Striped and a Black.

I really had hopes of getting a marlin mouth to tail around 1.2-1.3, 2m overall

I would love to get the little boat out there i think it would be boarder lining ok 16kms out in a 4.5m boat is quiet a distance if weather turns bad
Just cant afford a epirb and radio at the moment plus trying to sell smaller boat to repay the other projects gets in the way of things
Hopefully i can nail out the big boat before the end of next year november/december'ish to get out there for the marlin in january
Big boat still needs a bit of work, i know i would rather the security of the 5.7m boat over 4.5m boat especially if there are 3 of us onboard
Would need some good tackle i have not looked into yet hooks,lines,traces, need a bait tank both boats dont have one
A lot more research to be done too i think on the hot and cold currents

Gazza, in my humble opinion, a 4.5 or 5.7 boat will still put you on the same fish your chasing.
Preparation and understanding weather/ water temps will put you on the same catch you are seeking. 5 ks or 16s out your not making it back to the beach swimming unless tides and currents are favourable.
Ive always wondered why people think its safer at sea closer to land than in deeper water when most shit happens on a bar crossing than offshore.
