hi all boaties.managed to hook into a black marlin while trolling a slimey mackerel of the gold coast in qld.We managed to hold it for an hour and a half and in the process it towed two kayaks 6km further out to sea at 4km/hr!!!.The sight of it jumping was spectacular and will be in my mind forever,unfortunately after an hour and a half my leader parted.But all is not lost,as been landing some other good fish as well regards

funny you should say that.i havent seemed to hook any on a lure either,they seem to take a live slow trolled yakka or slimey though.i have noticed quite a few jellyfish in the water with a very small type of sprat fish sitting bellow the jellyfish,perhaps thats what they are feeding on?

yes was out at black rock.not a bad spot,but surprisingly there seems to be quite a north south current running for a spot that is fairly close inshore.not a bad idea the harness setup!!!!

i caught this 9kg mactuna in northern new south wales of my kayak on saturday
