There have been reports of an amazing run of small marling heading South from Cairns for the last month - so it was only going to be a matter of time before they arrived in Hervey Bay 


Aidan Robertson picked up this lovely fish while we were fishing for snapper on a 5" plastic - so I thought it might be time for a concerted effort 

Katrina hadn't landed a black marlin to date and was keen to have a crack at one - so we re-scheduled our appointments to correspond with a great weather forecast and dusted off our billfish tackle & teasers !

We raised three marlin over the tide change - with this one nailing the Moldcraft needlefish from behind the daisy chain 

This little black spent more time in the air than water & really put on quite a show - est at 25kgs it was a great fish for Katrina's 1st black marlin 

And this fish has the potential to grow to over 1000lbs !!!!

There are also some good longtails about - Looks like we're in for some amazing fishing over the next few months
