thanks, I reckon its a blue
I saw it jump when it took the lure, it looked a little bit fat for a stripe.I have video of it, I'll post it soon, I have shitloads of the videos to post, I just don't have time
No one makes any serious money from fishing, so I still have to work at my real job It's a pipe dream!!!!! -

we hooked this marlin a couple of weeks ago about 5nm NE of browns, unfortunately it busted us off, I think it was a blue around 300lb.

Hey Peter
Hey Peter
Big fan of them blazers. The temp on Saturday was 22.8 and Sunday 23.2
Most were around the 65-70cm mark but the biggest was landed at 81cm my PB on dollies.
Nice, not big fish, but still great to catch. 60 is legal and I don't mind keeping couple that size to chuck on the grill.
I can't get out this weekend, I have the kid duty. I am hoping get out next week, I was going to put the trolling lures away for little while and do a bit of jigging waiting for the tuna to turn up.
But if the warm water is still around we might keep trolling for a little bit longer. We hooked a few blue marlin a few weeks ago in 23+ so anything can happen as long there is warm water around.
-
hey that's unreal, its such a good season this year offshore, its amazing that the fads are still producing this time of year.
What was the water temp and did they have any size to them?

How did you all go today
Just a couple of small dollies, didn't bother trying the fads. We went wide and seemed kind of dead out there. Just past the shelf seemed the most fishy, we saw heaps of sauries there. And there was big current line just about 2 miles inside the shelf we got the dollies along that.
good luck if you are going out
-
Hey Pete I'll be up and around the Bait Station.. COMMITED - see how we go.. Good luck talk tomorrow.
cool, is your call sign Commited and listening on 21? We're late starters, so we will probably at Sydney Head around 9am, I'll radio and see how you are going
-
yeah, we probably are, whats your call sign? ours is happy hooker, do you guys listen on 21?
that vein of warm has moved up, its near port stephens now. So the water temp is pretty unremarkable off Sydney all 22ish. So we will try to troll around structure.
we'll probably do something similar, put the lures just inside the 12 mile fast troll to shelf then browns, then troll mostly NE and SE of browns.

Hello PETE, Thanks for the report, I was driving around for work yesterday TUESDAY , Went past the BAY, and went past SPIT BRIGDE and Narrabeen and it looked flat as a tack. WOW wish I was out there.
Thanks for the information it least you caught something
Cheers sydneyfisher12
Was out all day yesterday trolled from Botany Bay to Kiama canyons didn't even turn a reel conditions where perfect
Good work
At least u caught some fish

yeah its always good to get something, I am happy just to get out there. And a couple of dollies for dinner is a bonus
have a look at the underwater shot of the dollie taking the lure in the dark, you can just make it out behind the lure
might be heading out on Friday, I might start trying to target the tuna from now on, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is still a marlin or 2 around, just gotta be in the right place at the right time.
might not be the best fishing this time of year, but the calm conditions are hard to resist

pretty quiet, around 5 boats on Whale Fad, saw a couple of boats pulling in small dollies, water temp around 22
trolled pass the fad and got a hook-up on small dollie and dropped it, couldn't be bothered doing another pass we wanted something bigger so pushed out to the bait station with a couple of high speed lures out, caught a chunk of kelp going at 15 knots, it was pretty exciting there for a while, until we realised it was kelp
we kept the kelp for salad in case we caught some fishgot a few small dollies around the bait station then trolled to browns, some good water just outside the shelf around 23, bait station was 22.4 and we were sounding a lot of bait there a bit deeper, around 30-40 metres down
trolled to the death and got a dollie in the dark just inside brownshad an underwater camera out all day, nothing came up on the spread except for the small dollies we caught, and they were individual fish not in schools
its worth a shot out there, there are still some good temp breaks outside the shelf, I'm sure there are some yellowfin and marlin still out there in patchesgood luck to anyone heading out
-
Managed to catch a bit of the action late in the piece
Enough to make a grown man scream - literally
nice, definitely gets your adrenaline pumping huh. I have been using the go pro on the head mount, but I have found but the time you stick it on head and turn it on the fish is 300 metres behind boat if its still connected. I am going permanently hard wire a go pro the rocket launcher with big SD card in it and turn it on and leave it on all day.
Even though I lost the fish I would have at least got shots of the leaping out as they take the lures and get hooked up.

We went out wide yesterday from broken bay. Terrigal fad and onto Norah canyon sea very lumpy so trolled Terrigal fad to the Norah canyon. Was 1.30 by the time we got there so only had an hour there before the run back. One other boat there amazing topography.. The bottom drops 200plus metres in about half a mile and then up again......hence canyon. Would have liked to spend a bit longer there.
Water 23 in close and then dropping to 22 then about 15 miles offshore. Back up to 24 out at the canyon. It is a 40 miles run back so probably won't make a habit of it. 110 miles for the day and 140 litres of fuel. ( 150 merc 4 stroke outboard) Tally for the day! 3 dollies ( 2 keepers), 2 very fat striped tuna, released and one free jumper.
nice, you landed more fish than we did, yeah Norah Canyon is a good spot, we have done well there when we have ventured out there.
Wow, that's a lot of fuel, my thing guzzles fuel like all hell as well.

Hooked up a big blue (was well over 500lb) this morning in pretty much the same spot you did yesterday. Good pocket of warm water around browns at the moment.
Fish went absolutely berserk and managed to bust our leader after a few minutes. Somehow managed to also destroy our teaser in the process.
Devastating - hook was well and truly set and we had tested that rig twice last weekend as it was one of my new lure purchases. Hopefully managed to get some footage on the gopro.
Heading back in now - sounded like a quiet day on the radio for most.bummer about your marlin, sounds like a biggy. We got out today late, we didn't get to Browns until about 1pm. We trolled around browns and got nothing, there were a few boats there, so we headed NE and a got double hook-up on blues around 2.30 and got busted off on both.
On the radio, all we heard was stories about everyone losing blues. I asked, but no one on the radio would say where. I broadcast my hook-up location and one boat turned up, but it was late by then and most boats seem to be heading back at that stage. There were heaps of flying fish where we hooked up.
All I actually landed was a stripped tuna about 5 miles before the 12 Mile, I was pretty impressed though, we hooked him going at 15knots.oh well, next time, if we landed everything, every time, we'd get sick of it right!
-
got him on our troll camera, unfortunately he hit the lure just in front of the camera so we didn't the get footage of the hookup, but we got him swimming by, really black fish
good luck to anyone going out tomorrow, I might be there as well
-
The water looked great out there today, Bad luck on the Blue... But nice to find one..
yeah the water was excellent today, we only saw one other boat out there. Its a bummer, we thought we had it, it slowed down and we thought it settled down and we just cleared the gear ready to back down on it, then it took off again and the line popped!
oh well there is always next time
-
We got busted off by a Blue Marlin today about 5NM South West of Browns today at 3.30pm. Just guessing, but it looked well over 300lb, other than that all we got was fat Striped Tuna about 8lb and lost a small Dolphin Fish both of those in closer around 60 metres.
My co-pilot was sleeping and I was driving when it struck so by the time we cleared the gear the there was at least 400 metres of line missing on our 50W, there was a massive bow the in line it was leaping around all over the place in the distance. About 200 of line metres went missing, not sure if the line had a nick or it was pressure break due the big bow.
For anyone heading on this Saturday:
23 degrees about 2 miles from the heads
then gradually drops to around 22 at the 12 mile
just inside the shelf it goes back up to around 23.2 and then it gradually gets warmer heading towards Browns and beyond. The warmest water we found was 24.1 which was around 10NM SE of Browns. It was around 23.5 where hooked the blue. Also saw a large Mako cruising near Browns.There is a lot more bird activity in close. On the radio, a couple boats getting dollies around the fads, so they are still around.
We might have the Marlin strike on our underwater camera, it hit the lure just left of the camera. Will post some photos in the next couple of days. Might even head out tomorrow, pumped now.
Good Luck to anyone heading out.Peter

Think that's was an attempt at reverse psychology...but what ever works is good.
Good luck
you could be right
its a feeble attemptbut seriously we are due for one, we don't always get big fish, but we haven't had a zero since mid dec last year and my gut feeling is telling me tomorrow is the day, or maybe I am just lowering my expectations to zero, so even if we get a small dollie or stripped tuna I will still be happy

We have a plan.
Looking to head out Sat and Sunday as the weather and current looks pretty good. Leave Broken Bay on sat morning (sparrows) and run out past terrigal FAD and onto Norah Canyons and possibly Newcastle Canyons and back into Newcastle port for the night. (approx 86nm). Hoping to rustle up a hot shower somewhere.My mate reckons we will be right with some lemons soy and wasabi but I will take some cash in case we need to fall back on a humble steak at the pub. Sunday back again having hopefully picked up the current lines or temp breaks on the way up. Happy to provide info accordingly if anyone is fishing up that way.Call sign FFM and we will be on 21
We will be in a 6.1m surtees trailerboat with a 150 merc 4 stroke and 200 litre tank.
Will be two full on days of about 10hrs on the water and may need to modify plans if we get a few fish. Can always call into Swansea and shave 10 miles EW off the trip. .
Not sure if there are any other worthwhile spots on route but would welcome feedback.
Mate, a pub steak sounds really good, you will probably be sick of fish and appreciate the dry land
I am still heading out tomorrow, I have no concrete plan, I will probably just chuck the lures in the before the 12 mile and just troll heading east towards Browns and beyond. I might even try get out Saturday as well.I'll stay 21 and broadcast what I get, call sign Happy Hooker. I'll do quick post tomorrow night for anyone heading out Saturday, we will probably get nothing we are seriously due for a zero.

Yeah mate Friday and Sat looks like a done deal, just have to tell my boss...haha hopefully the currents slowed up on the shelf..!
We will be out there on Saturday - going to bottom bash for kings early and then head out wider to troll for dollies and marlin later in the morning
Heading out Friday at this stage.
Ocean is a little rough this morning Osbourne Shoals was breaking well out in Bate Bay when I had a walk this morning.
Bruce
I'm looking at Friday...weather and crew permitting
Thursday looks like crap so I will probably head out on Friday, maybe Saturday as well if I can swindle it. Sunday is mothers day, so that's out.
I will be on 22 and let you know if we get anything, our call sign is Happy Hooker.

Yeah your right about that... Hey have you been out with Nomad? I used to be a guide up there and remember testing those Sent Blazer Lures with a few guys..cheers
yeah I did a trip about 3 years ago, the lures we used were all prototypes back then. We lost a few lures, straightened hooks, busted off, sharked etc. Our guide was a South African guy, Glanville, I think from memory.
There a was a film crew that used the lures for a DVD segment on Nomad as well, that was about a year ago. They had to run the lures without the bait, they kept getting sharked otherwise, they got a few dogtooth on them.
heres the clip they did:

All good, small world.

Cograts Mate on the Solo Marlin!
Yeah Peter I have had the GoPro fog up or the battery run out half way through the fight and then finding my spare and changing it while fighting a crazy Black Marlin...haha It is a bit freaky sometimes when out on the shelf solo and most of the time I don't see any other boats out there.. My biggest fear is getting pulled in while in the harness or having a Marlin jump in the boat.. The risk is worth the reward..
yeah bloody go pros
but they are great thing and in general they are pretty reliable, I had my iphone as a backup anyway so it's all goodI never landed a marlin in my 15 footer, I hooked a few but I dropped them. One time I hooked a stripped tuna and about 10 feet from the boat a huge mako came up and ripped to shreds, I almost crapped myself. I was about 10 miles offshore by myself.
I used strap the engine key lanyard to my wrist every time it got a bit rough, so if I went over board at least the engine would stop. I also kept a small a rubber duckie in the cabin to inflate in case of an emergency as well. I think your boat would be harder to sink than mine was, some of the smaller boats now are probably safer than the bigger ones in terms of keeping afloat
If I was doing it today, I would wear an inflatable life jacket all the time and have a GPS Epirb on my belt all the time, so if I went overboard I would inflate the jacket and turn on the epirb if I couldn't get back to the boat. I think they are about $500 and they last about 8 years, they are well worth it.
for sure its scary at times, but its awesome

Heading out Friday if the weather is good to us
I'm looking at Friday...weather and crew permitting
Good stuff, I am going to head out either Thursday or Friday. A guy from SGFC got small stripe on Friday in close around 60fathoms and another boat got a big dollie and a hook up on a blue at 750 fathoms on the same day, so I'm not sure. I might head wide for change. Put the lures in before the 12 mile and just troll east to browns and beyond.
I'll check the water temp on Wedndesday that might help me make up my mind.
I saw it jump when it took the lure, it looked a little bit fat for a stripe.

I reckon we are going to get nothing. And that my friends is my feeble attempt at reverse phycology!!!!!!
seriously, we going start trolling just inside the 12 mile, then go to secret fad 19, then out to browns and just wherever, I honestly have no clue, I am just hoping for the best!!
if there is anyone out there tomorrow we'll be on channel 21 and 22. Give us a holler and let us know how you doing, we are "Happy Hooker II"
