Thanks Mr.e.d, good stuff at least you raised a fish, I'm sure many boats didn't see a thing. must be those Scent Blazer;) Yea definitely catch up for a beer when i get up there!! wheres the boat your fishing being kept? Tight Lines Andrew SBC

The conditions were a little average in close but as the day went on the wind eased. the southerly was standing the current up most of the day. Tight Lines Andrew SBC

Great Stuff Damo, I was going to come up today but with a virus i thought i better rest and leave it to next week!! Came past the boat last week as we are on a arm but no one was onboard, ill call you when i head up next week. Tight Lines Andrew SBC

yea they are a great little unit Kingfish_Su!! we use the seasurface.com charts, they are pretty good and well worth investing in. Tight Lines Andrew SBC

Thanks BillfishMan, having the bait in the chamber certainly makes the strikes more aggressive and also gives you a far better hook up!! We use little LED lights that clip together (will post a pic when i get one) but the lures come with the glow sticks that have a spot in the Hook Lock to insert them. Tight Lines Andrew SBC

Hey DownToFish we had 23.4 but was a pretty distinct break from the 21.4 we encountered only half a mile before. the water wasn't as green as it has been the past few weeks. Tight Lines Andrew SBC

No Worries Scratchie, anytime!! they are certainly a great investment for consistently catching fish!!

hey all Just quickly we went 2-2-1 yesterday and full report is in the "Fishing Report" section on Fishraider. Here is the trollcam footage of the striped marlin smashing a Scent Blazer!! http://scentblazer.com/PhotosVideos/VideoGallery/BabyMarlinTrollingCamera.aspx Check it out and let us know what you think.

After running up to Port last week and being greeted by green water and strong northerlies and receiving very poor marlin reports, we put the boat in its pen and made the decision to come back to Sydney. The weekend blew out but the Scent Blazer Crew got out and caught a few dollies. So yesterday with the weather predicted to ease we got the boat and crew together to head wide in search of Mr. Marlin, after refueling and rounding north head we were greeted with green dirty water that was 21.4 degrees and a southerly that kicked up the current running down the hill. After looking at the Sea Surface Charts I could see a little head of current just north of Sydney on the shelf so our plan was to fish the break in hope of a beakie. Listening to the radio, the chatter was to a minimal with boats out near Heaton’s and Browns finding good temps, green water and no bait so I pointed the bow northeast to the water we found on the charts. As we got closer to the predicted marks the water warmed and cleared to a nicer shade of blue. The temp rose from 21.4 to 24.0 with lots of little breaks of 0.5-degree changes. But our first stop was the Manly Hydraulics Buoy we were greeted by heaps of small dollies and many striped tuna. With the weather very gloomy and overcast we decided to add little LED lights to the head of the lures and bait in the chambers of our Nano’s, which was the key to our success!! All the lures that had bait and lights in them were catching all the fish; the lures were visible to the fish and us as they stood out looking down from the bridge. It’s just another great feature of Scent Blazer’s. After catching half a dozen dollies on Scent Blazer Nano’s they turned off but we could still see them on the trollcam following the lures. A few more passes for zeros we switched the lures to a large spread of lures from Smalls to Large in search of a billfish. We loaded the lures and teasers with some striped tuna we had caught earlier; this was the key to our afternoon’s success!! Watching the trollingcam like a hawk, we drove over a school of small stripies, only to see a marlin come up on the Large Slant Head in skipjack pattern and crash it!! What a sight!! It was a big fish; he crashed the short corner and took off only to spit the hooks. Ah well so we kept working the area in hope of raising the fish again and 10mins later we had a striped Marlin on the long rigger, a Small Purple frigate in a smoker head and caught on troll cam, absolutely insane to see the fish on the screen eat your lure!! It was only a small fish but he put up a great show and was good to find fish considering no other boats raised a fish, maybe Scent Blazer is the secret!! After playing with him around the boat the hooks just fell out of his tiny mouth. Was a great arvo, this saw us catching dolphin fish and striped tuna into the dark because the lures were lit up with LED’s. Here is a tip: when you catch a lot of stripies and there are a lot of strpies in the area, cut one up and fill your lures and teasers with the stripy. There’s a good chance that the marlin will be eating the stripies so simply match the hatch!!

Nice stuff Noddy, I'm sure many people have similar dreams but now that you have your scent blazer's your dreams will no longer be dreams!!

Scent Blazer Crew Hey all, the Scent Blazer crew headed out from Sydney for a late afternoon trolling session. Conditions were not ideal. Seabreeze.com.au was forecasting 20 knot NE winds. 20 knots my arse. I have to say bom.gov.au is much more accurate overall,in my opinion, for getting the winds and seas right. BOM got it right, it was 30 knots and then some, but we were hoping Seabreeze was right. After fuelling at Rushcutters Bay, which took forever as there were a few boats ahead of us, we headed with newbie Jason towards Sydney heads at about 3pmthen out to the Manly Hydraulics Buoy. It was rough; in hindsight, we should have headed back and just fished the harbour. Anyway, being crazy, we persevered and slowly made our way to the Manly Hydraulics Buoy. Eventually we got near the mark and put out the Scent Blazer trolling lures. (Did you know you could put bait inside Scent Blazer trolling lures so they get more strikes? Big smile). By this time Jason was unwell, poor guy. We tried to make to him feel better by saying it’s good for you to throw up, it cleans your stomach out, supermodels do it all the time. It was so rough we had trouble finding it, but eventually we spotted it and trolled around it. We hooked a small Dolphin Fish which got tangled around one of the other lures in the all the wind and ended up coming off. Water temperature was around 22.5 round the FAD and water was very blue. We decided to head further NE so we could have some time coming downwind on it.About an hour later, we hooked up on a 3kg Dolphin Fish and landed it, nice one for the BBQ. That was about 7NM NE from the FAD. There were birds everywhere, and the sounder was picking up fish everywhere, but they were down deeper around 20 metres down. Water temp was around 22.5 out there as well. A couple of times the whole bow of the boat got covered in water , so we decided to turn back go down on it, much more comfortable. We even got a few waves come over the side of the boat, which drenched Jason. He was not having good day. We headed back towards to the Manly Hydraulics Buoy. We couldn’t find it; it was hard to see anything with all the white caps. So we pulled in the lures and powered back, that was fun. The boat was surfing down the waves. Here is a tip: the twofish we did hook we hooked on a rig that we weighed down. We clipped a really big barrel sinker about 16oz on the snap swivel, like the ones they use trolling for Wahoo. This keeps the lure under all the chop and wind swell and make its more visible because lures on the surface are competing for visibility with all the white caps.Often when it’s rough we don’t get any strikes on the surface and only get them on the lures we weigh down. Don’t use a big lure when weighing it down. Use no bigger than a 6” or 8” bullet head, so it stays down with little resistance. Both hook-ups we got on 6" Nano Sardine Bullet Head weighed down with16oz barrel sinker with Pilchards inside the lure’s bait chamber. We are heading out again on Tuesday, hopefully the weather will be more favourable. We’ll post another report then. Until then Happy Fishing! Peter - SB Lures

Scent Blazer Crew Hey all, the Scent Blazer crew minus Andrew headed out for a Sydney offshore sessionon Wednesday at around 12.30pm. We took a Dolphin newbie, Adam, along for the ride. Andrew was in Port Stephens fishing. Andrew reported the waters off Port Stephens were muddy and no one has been catching anything up there at the moment, so he struck out up there. We headed North from Sydney heads to the Manly Hydraulics Buoy. The water around the buoy was somewhat greenish but a warm 23.5, so we trolled a couple of small Scent Blazer lures around it hoping to pick up some dolphin fish. We did a few passes and got nothing, sowe continued NE about 10NM towards the shelf looking for blue water. About 4NM inside the shelf the water got bluer and we started trolling. We continued towards the shelf and the water gradually become even bluer the further out we went. We saw many patches of krill in the water, which is a good sign. Hooked up on a small Striped Tuna just inside the shelf. We got the newbie Adam to reel it in, his form was terrible and he lost it near the boat. About 2 miles NE of the Bait Station we spotted a couple of fish traps. We trolled about 40 metres away from them. Unbelievable, the amount of rope they had on their buoys was way too long, it was floating along the surface, we ended up running over it,and it got caught around the legs of the boat. Stopped the boat, got the boat hook out and had to cut the trap off and re-tie it. Really dangerous. If a boat ran over that ropeat speed, it would cause a hell of a lot of damage not to mention risk to people’s lives. If it wereearly morning or late afternoon, you would not even see it. So here is a tip, if you see a trap keep a good distance from it until you can establish where the ropes are and how much excess rope they have floating around. We hooked a Dolphin fish when we were pulling one of the Scent Blazer lures in. Adam lost that one near the boat as well. We kept trolling around the trap keeping a good distance from it and we hooked a few small Dolphin fish that Adam lost again. Finally, Adam landed a Dolphin fish, which was lucky because at that stage we were going to throw him overboard. Just kidding Adam. We spotted another fish trap a bit further out, this time we kept our distance, at least 60 to 70 metres away from it. Guess what? That rope was just as long or longer. We ran over that one as well. We stopped the engines. My first instinct was to cut it off, but we thought we would do the right thing and try to push the rope off the legs with the boat hook. We got it off, but by this stage our teaser cord was caught around one of the prop legs and the lines become tangled in all the chaos of freeing the fish trap. We couldn’t start the boat until the teaser cord was cleared, too risky, andwe couldn’t get it off with the boat hook from the marlin board, so out came the diving mask and we had to jump in to get it off. Lucky the water was warm and there were no sharks. What a day so far. After all that we had a break , had a cigarette, a drink and just pondered for half an hour, talking about all shit that had transpired so far. Next time we won’t muck around, we will just cut it off. Not giving upeasily, we cut off the tangled line, re- rigged, put the trolling lures and teasers back out and started trolling back towards Sydney. Between about 6 and 7pm, we got about five more strikes, a Dolphin Fish and two Striped Tuna all of which Adam pulled in. He was getting better! We lost two bigger fish but we got footage of one of the fish on the troll cam, we willgo over the footage to see what it was. We got a fair bit of footage on the troll cam at least of fish striking the lures. So we will post that up here over the next few days. We also got some great footage of about 50 small Dolphin Fish swimming behind the trolling camera at various stages of the afternoon when we were reeling in the fish. We’llpost that up here as well. Despite the dramas we had great day out, we probably would have hooked a lot more Dolphin Fish if we didn’t lose all that time dealing the fish traps ropes, but we still got a few and everyone had a lot of fun. Anyway, lots of Dolphin Fish and Stripped Tuna along the shelf in bluer water. I am sure there aresomeMarlin in amongst those smaller fish as well. I think over the next few days as the water clearsup even more it will get even better, so get out there if you can. Happy fishing and be careful around those fish traps. Peter – SB Lures P.S. we got all the fish on Scent Blazer Nanos ,Sardine and Green Mackerel colours, we put Pilchards inside the lures for bait.

Hey Grant, We have a hook lock system that keeps he hook up right, have a look at this link. http://www.scentblazer.com/Products/tabid/292/CatID/139/Game_Fishing_Hook_Locks.aspxhttp://www.scentblazer.com/Products/tabid/292/CatID/139/Game_Fishing_Hook_Locks.aspx http://www.scentblazer.com/PhotosVideos/VideoGallery/Howourlureworks.aspx With the ever changing fishing conditions we continue to try new things to get fish and pushing the boundries to succeed

Hey All, Just thought id update everyone as these packs are selling out real quick!! Be sure to get yours while they last... Tight Lines Andrew SBC

basically no drag wacko, or a big drop back off the riggers...

All Good points, I think something like the Gamakatsu Inline-point Circle Octopus Hook would suit it more i think. its a fairly light gauge wire with a wide gape and small turned in point. What do you think?

Hey Hammer n tongs, We prefer to run single hooks as they get a far better hook up and allow the complete chamber to be used. As others have said, its far easier to handle the fish with a single hook when releasing and does a little less damage to the fish. Tight Lines Andrew SBC

Awesome Stuff Penguin, You'll love them!! keep us posted on your captures... Tight Lines Andrew SBC

Hey Guys and Girls, Recently we have been testing the use of circle hooks in skirted trolling lures with great success!! we have only been using them on Dolphin fish and Kingfish but we are almost certain it will work on marlin. Whats your thoughts on using circles in skirted lures? Bellow is the link to our results and thoughts. http://scentblazer.com/MyScentBlazer/Articles/CirclesForSuccess.aspx Tight Lines Andrew SBC

a slab of slimie works great Mr.e.d

Hey Chucks, I'd say usually allow 2 days for it to be dispatched and arrive on your doorstep, unfortunately at this stage you cant pick them up but we are working on that.

nice, what did you order tom? As Mr.e.d said i recommend you match the bait with the lure colour i.e. Sardine colour lure load it with Sardine. but you can load them with whatever you like.
