Well done ashley! Over here in karratha our marlin bite has died off. We had our annual Billfish Shootout about a mouth ago and had 176 sails and 3 blacks tagged in 2 1/2 days across 45 boats.
Do you find lures or baits most productive there? As far as marlin go in the pilbara the is a lot of water between fish and lures are to go (much to the delight of the local spaniard population!). What water temp did you get the billies in?
It was 23.5C at Balgal. I was trolling my usual productive haunts listening to the 10am sked in frustration as I'd been on the water for 2 hours without so much as a hit.
I have this new theory that on the 1st July the Balgal Fingermark turn into Marlin and head south. We were also lucky to have a major trawler working the shoals just out from us. Should make for a great winter - NOT!

Scoring many grunter around Balgal at the moment? Will be hitting Bluewater creek next week on the 3.2m tide. Big tides just before the full moon....if everything goes to plan
Stunned, I never fish for Grunter although we have a couple in the club who consistently weigh in 3+kg models. They get them on the shoals near Tumulla.
Yeah Whiteman, grunter are not my preferred target however they are very tasty and numerous at present.Have been getting good numbers and size around Bluewater creek recently. Condition and adapt to what's there I reckon.
