Went out last thursday on my boat Haggis (named after the missus) hoping to jag some good weather . It turned out to be a pearler after some early morning lumps . Went out through the tweed bar early and set some lures on the 8kg gear and could only manage stripe tuna and rat dollies.
Out to 80 m and got more of the same and jumped off a bigger dollie of 8 kg+.
The wind was dropping so headed wider inthe 585 haines in search of the big one.
Put out the 37kg gear and put a 15kg outfit down the middle . An hour later we see it get hit and the fun starts . By the time we cleared the rest of the gear the spool was looking pretty low and the chase was on.
After 35 minutes of fishing 15kg to its limit the fish was boatside , tagged revived and released . Weight was estimated about 100kg .
The photo doesn't do it justice .

Don't spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for.
hi hercules,
nice fish on 15kilo gear, how wide/depth do you fish for blues ?
got him in 160m and from what ive heard a few have come from that depth of late . We usually fish deeper but my sounder looses bottom after 200m so rely on gps marks.
nice fish on light gear mate
top effort
cheers tim [smiley=beer.gif]

Great stuff mate, that may be the first Blue for the Surfers Paradise Game & Sportfishing Club this year, not sure. I hope we have that sort of weather for the Couran Cove tournie, would be sweet. The Blues seem to be starting to show up with a little more regularity at the moment.
Wonderful effort, hope you get some more.

Well done. Heard Brett Alty from Mistress talking to Graham Mcloy of Inkwazi about it then you popped on the radio for a sec. How did you go that morning? Seems that Mistress is getting a couple. He got one at least out wide today. We only saw vermin all weekend.
Top fish Craig. When I read the title of the post I was expecting to see a pic of a spaniard
Cheers
