    Scad Mackerel "Grammatorcynus bilineatus" 

    Happy to be wrong though.

    Thanks blackfish. That's what we initially thought but weren't sure when we looked on the internet. Didn't realize they got to quite that size. There were schools of them everywhere. Cheers,

    Do not know. It has a long pectoral fin like an albacore, but ?

    Just have to remember that some fish species will interbreed (like humans) and produce specimens that bear no resemblance to their original species.

    Thanks for your response yowie. Yeah I thought it looked similar to an albacore but it has distinct differences. Cheers,

    was it the only one of the day?

     

    Hey kingie pursuer. Well to be fair we actually hooked another Marlin and a mahi but they both spat the hook within four seconds

    Good on him for the good clean release.

    cheers

    The release is by far the best part of catching a marlin. Seeing them swim away healthy is a great feeling.

    Would love to see the video but cannot see it! Is it up on the tube?

    Cheers!

    Hey guys, no it's not up on youtube but that's weird that you guys can't see it? I even got my mate that doesn't have Instagram to check if the link worked. Anyway sorry about the inconvenience.

    I might upload it to yt tomorrow and paste the link here.

    Hi everyone, 

    Finally got around to making a little video of my dads first Marlin he caught a couple of years ago. 

    Just thought I'd post it and hopefully get some good vibes out there for everyone going out for Marlin soon.

    Cheers, Aeger

    Hi all,

    Went out this morning in hopes of going to the Fad to see if we could get a Mahi.

    We knew the forecast wasn't great but it was seriously rough. Even the charter boats were turning around.

    We decided to have a quick troll before going in and picked up three bonito.

    Sorry I've only got two dodgy photos cause of the slop.

    Regards,

    Aeger

    Which Boat

    in Boating

    Posted

    I personally agree with regea that a four stroke is the way to go and worth the extra money. Can't go wrong with a quintrex. I have the renegade 440 sc and its a great boat for fishing in the river and the harbour. An electric motor is a must for in the river, certainly makes it easier. It has a 60hp suzuki 4t and it is very reliable. I know that the new 2t motors are much more fuel efficient than the older ones but the 4t are much more economical.

    There are a couple of paysites-Fishtrack and Ripcharts , not sure on this sites rules but I do use Ripcharts and find it pretty good for the basic subscription ($99 USD)- other folk find the other sites good too

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated
