Fisho8 we went to the waverider buoy and it was chock o block full of undersize rat kings. You could see some quite decent dollies underneath them but could not get a bait past them. They were crazy smashing everything that hit the water. I threw in a live slimey and they just smashed it to death without being able to swallow it. Maybe trolling might work?? We didnt try that!

Yeah I have a couple of Halco matchstick lures I would not mind trying near it to see what hit them I have another couple to I want to try which are a silver colour like a pillie.
Mate they would have been small black marlin, not cobiaJust near shag rock I saw a couple of fish cruising on the surface with dorsal and tails out of the water that I swear were big cobia. Unfortunately we were doing 20 knots at the time and the skipper didnt see them until they exploded and went under. Turned for a look but they were gone.

well done in those conditions, thats a great feed. after that are thinking of upgrading.
well done
cheers

Mate I dont think they were marlin. You could see the triangular spikes in front of the dorsal fin.Mate they would have been small black marlin, not cobia
Well I know over 30 small balcks have been hooked off the Gold Coast in the past two days by less than a handful of boats... But maybe they were cobia.. But if you could see the small spikes on their back at 20 knots it must have been flat and your eyes are a bloody lot better than mine unless you almost run over them lol

Yep your right Anthony. It was a Marlin and I was really off the gold coast not straddie and my eyesight is crap.
No i was just admitting mine are crap and I wouldn't be able to see spikes on the back of a fishes head at 20knots... Anyways sorry Mr seriousYep your right Anthony. It was a Marlin and I was really off the gold coast not straddie and my eyesight is crap.
Let me guess.....you've got a lure recommendation to catch these mysterious fish?
