Ken
The pec fins didnt fold down so i am pritty sure its a black!
Well done on the first for the season..
I would call it for a Black. It is a bit hard to tell from the pic but it looks like the second dorsal fin is in front of the anal fin, a feature only found on Blacks..
-
Also Sydney G.F.C. boat Ambition tagged a blue and a black marlin. I did hear of alot of other boats tagging fish last weekend......
Correction... 2 Blues and a Black.
Blues were about 150Kg and the Black 70kg.
I will be fishing most weekends in Feb and March up there... I can't wait

That looks fantastic
Did you paint the hull on the trailer or did you drop it off?
-
I believe the EPIRB rule is from the open waters line.
-
Run a small cable tie 1.5mm-2mm wide through the eye sockets and fasten that down on your hook.
Problem solved

Or I’m I just unlucky… Thanx
Unlucky?
On the rectifier side of things.... I doubt it.
Who is selling you and installing these rectifiers at $450 a pop?
Does he need a business partner

I just Purchased 4 Tiagra 16 reels from the states for AU$493.00 each
Before I placed the order I went to my tackle guy who really looks after us and gave him the option to even get close to the US price as I would be happy to pay a bit more to keep the money here.Unfortunately he could not get any where near it as his buy price from the importer is AU$730.00
I will still buy the line and rods from him though as he is a good guy.

yeah i will take it off ur hands thanks for that
Cheers Joe
No worries mate.

We had a fantastic early season, we got a few in late September including the one below, but nothing since.
Here is hoping for the first Marlin of the season.
-
We got a few on the surface around south head on the weekend.
Good luck

Jack,
The world shark population is down by 70% and it seems a waste to keep killing these beautiful fish and then dump them at sea, maybe I am overprotective of our ocean
Ross
"15. No criticism of legal catches and/or inappropriate imposing of C&R views in fishing reports"
With respect Ross, One fishermans once in a life time catch is not going to affect the world Mako population.
The fish was filleted and shared amongst the crew from what I saw. Then the carcass was disposed of at sea. Nothing illegal or immoral there.

Nice Mako mate.
Robbie.
Ps. I was the younger guy working on the boat deck at the weigh station where you guys weighed it

September is Sydney's windiest time of the year according to the BOM
The Nor Easters in summer do affect fishing/boating a bit more though as they are fairly consistent.
-
Usually the end of September.
They start up north and work down...
Their are still some dollies about by the way, weird year for them!
-
Watching this one.
I wonder what happens if no one claims it, do these kids who've done the righty get to keep it? I bet not.
Mik,
The cops can hold it for 12 or 24 months I can't remember which but after that it goes back to the person that handed it in..

If it is set up properly yes it is.
The major benefit of Digital Select Calling is that your location is transmitted when a distress call is made. That in it's self has to be enough reason to use it?

Interesting reading Billfisher,
Looking at those figures the rec fishos seem to be taking their share of the biomass but look at where the large numbers are for the "Pros"
Mostly lower down the food chain, now that can't be a good thing?

I am with penguin stay off the bottom and save your lead
A mate was using a Stella 20000 and a Smiths rod on the weekend with 500g jigs and a wire trace. It was by far the easiest manual retrieve I have seen, expensive but easy

OOPs sorry dad
Land based hey............ Enough said!
Seriously though, our boat slipped its mooring during a storm in 2003. It was moored at Rodd point and found two days later in Berry bay, lucky for us with out a scratch on it.
-
Does any one know the full story?
Did it slip a mooring?
Was it stolen?
Did the cops or coasties find it and drop the anchor to hold it as the tide ran back up while they tried to notify the owner?

Andy,
The entry form is here

How Do You Read Swells And Waves?
in Fishing Chat
Posted
Taken from the BOM site.
* Sea waves: waves generated by the wind blowing at the time, and in the recent past, in the area of observation.
* Swell waves: waves which have travelled into the area of observation after having been generated by previous winds in other areas. These waves may travel thousands of kilometres from their origin before dying away. There may be swell present even if the wind is calm and there are no 'sea' waves.
* Wave period: the average time interval between passages of successive crests (or troughs) of waves.
* Wave Height: Generally taken as the height difference between the wave crest and the preceding trough.
* Wave Length: The mean horizontal distance between successive crests (or troughs) of a wave pattern.
