4-2-2 = 1st marlin each for both mate Steve & I, plus a little YF tuna for good measure. Many many hours of study, dreaming and toil has finally paid off ... not to mention the $$$$$$$$$$ of fuel, tackle, etc, etc. There is something about this style of fishing ... and when it comes together .. WOW .

Manys thanks to eldest son for letting me use all the flash murray gear. It works a treat mate !! Maybe one day you'll get one .

Was a great day on the water with several reports of fish though not in big numbers. Some boats will hang all sorts of stuff over the side to attract fish . I hear they popped some cherries for southern visitors as well.

Well done guys they are an awsome fish that is for sure.

Great stuff Mal. Sure is worth it when it all comes together.

I thought I heard your call sign on the radio yesterday. I was on a mates boat off the Gold Coast. We saw one tinny tag a marlin, but generally seemed to be a very slow day on the water. We had NW winds and didn't raise a marlin, though we did end up with a couple of spotties and a striped tuna.

Congrats!

Great job I think your first marlin only makes them more addictive!!! Could my first at 14 and still had a massive buzz yesterday at 38!!!

See Mal, I told you they were easy to catch!!
Well done!!

Your new boat looks great on the water.
