    Almost speared!

    in Gamefishing Grapevine

    Posted

    a few years ago I tagged 58 marlin in three weeks on boardroom  .our best day was12 fish..no close calls  we treat each fish carefully and a few years experience gives you a feel for them...we have tended to go with wind ons and seldom trace fish any more..we tag them off the rod..once the double and windon are on you thumblock the fish and walk backwards..tag fish grab trace and hang on motor forward,the light gauge circles usually straighten or the knot breaks..1 in 15 you may have to trace to the side and cut trace...saying that s#@t happens and you hope your ok..rick

    hey traily its all good fun till someone gets hurt...I gamefished for years and have traced hundreds of marlin..imo the skipper wasn't idling forward fast enough  the marlin overran them turned under then done a loop..ive seen it happen before..you cant let them get in front of you if they turn out its not so bad if they turn in they usually go under boat and get cut off...rick

    not the sort of conditions to be out there in an open tinny...people need to look at the vast array of technology available..even still I was 10 mile from the heads on fri arvo and got hit by 20knot southeaster that wasn't forecast..i had the luxury of heading home with a following sea...rick

    make sure they state two stroke outboard motor oil.tcw3 rating..not just two stroke oil  that is for mowers and brushcutters n chainsaws...tcw3 oil is cleaner burning  less emissions less oiling up of plugs...rick
