fished out of the pin today with my brother and 2 of his mates , none of them have caught anything bigger than a flathead before today.

trolled for a while but no bait found off the 24s so up lines and out to the 50s were the marlin aere chewing there heads off all up we tagged 2 blacks dropped 1 after good hook up but newby hits free spool instead of strike half way into the fight nd had 2 take our lives for a run only to return with slimmy heads only.

fished for 4 hrs live baiting with 5 other boats and cant beleive how good alll boats where we all took turns on the bait and all hooked up frequintly with one charter upto 8 blacks when we left at 1pm and the fish were still chewing hard

Cat are you using circle hooks? Much better hook up rate and better for the fish. The little blacks tend to scoff the livies down and get hooked in the throat.

Well done mate. As mentioned it is great fun seeing people catch their first one. I get the same thing all the time, "I can't believe you can catch Marlin out of Brisbane, I never knew" type of thing.

Cheers,
Myles

P.S What are the dates for the Little Ships Tournamnet this year?

Nice going wayne its good watching someone that hasn't fished outside get amongst some good fish let alone a marlin, you have set the bench mark high now for them from flathead to marlin geez what are you going to do to better that?
