You are starting to make this Tuna fishing look easy aren't you.
Arman told me that he heard of a few Fin being caught out there and Dave is making a bit of a Pig of himself this season with the Yellow fin ! !
Keep up the good work and Congratulations all round.

Hi Arman
Don't forget me
It's been ages since I had one of Henry's Famous European rolls.
Congrats on the taggings on the weekend, a great effort by ALL involved on "Lockout".

im suprised the human banana (henry ) got a fish
Hi Arman,
Exactley what I was thinking, it's a wonder he doesn't have Yellow Skin.
A great effort by all concerned and hoping it's going to continue for a time yet.

Well done lads........good fish. My guess it is a Blue Marlin, going by the shape of the head and long lower jaw.
Hi Nick
It looks like a Blue to me going on the photo. Send us some more shots of the fish and I'll try to work out what it was ??. If you still have the Head at home measure from the tip of the bottom jaw to the back of the Gill case and from the base of the dorsal to the middle of the pectoral fins. And did the Pec fins fold flat and if you kept them take a pic for me OK. Then I'll check with Fred Montobello as he keeps all of his measurements.
Can you at least put up your Mates name on your next post.
good work mate, you heading to nowra in feb? if so we have to have a beer bud,cheers andy,
Don't think his dad would approve as he only just left the JR ranks for fishing. Better make it a "Softie"
Got to agree with you about your DAD being bad luck but he WILL make up for it this season !!!

Hope it's the first of many for the coming season
Congratulations to Harry and crew for the great start.
Talk to you all soon

sorry silvo you can blame me for all the bad weather in the coming week, as i have planned holidays
cheers arman
Remember your last Holiday in Febuary down at Crookhaven Heads, for the Nowra Convention.
10 Days of Wind, Rain and huge Seas.
You even went home early as i remember.
Not saying your Jinxed or anything ??

good one Ken.. were you still holding the rod the whole day ? thumbs must be sore. great looking fish. congrats 2all ......
Hi Dave
No I took the lazy option that weekend and put it up the starboard outrigger in my "Southam" line release.
Worked like a charm as usual. After I heard the "Twang" of the line releasing it was a simple matter of strolling over and slowly pushing the drag lever up. She must have been hungry as the circle hook connected inside the mouth, not in the hinge of the Jaw as usual.
Back down the van this weekend, but taking the Boss there this time to rack up some Brownie points.
Keep an ear open about JB as I'd love another shot at those Striped Marlin again.

The young lass with you is certainly very accomplished as well.
Hey Dave I'm not sure if Jewgaffer knows you at all but I think the Flowing Locks in the photo has given him the wrong impression about your Gender ???

Hi Arman
First thing is thanks for the invite on the weekend, Very much appreciated and I had a great day fishing with you and Dave. Well worth the drive all the way to Murray's Beach boat ramp as it's a lot shorter trip out to the fishing grounds than from Crookhaven Heads. After fishing the Banks the previous couple of trips it's a very different Ball game fishing the wider grounds for me. first and foremost is the use of a very good sounder to locate the bait out there, very different than sighting them around the Banks or filling up just outside the heads.
Fantastic sight seeing those free swimming "lit up" Striped Marlin just behind the boat.
About the fast starboard turn
I nearly Sh#t myself when it happened ad felt sure we were going for a Swim.i hit the throttles forward and nearly deposited the boys in the drink,lola little while later the trace came to hand again and the leader let goI told you I now have a new name for you on the trace Arman Schwarzenegger Not that I'm saying your a bit heavy on the Trace or anything
Can't wait to go out and do it all again but I hear "Management" has plans for you this weekend ???.
Probably go down the van (Greenwell Point) Thursday and either fish the Banks or the same area as the Weekend.
Once again Thanks for a Fantastic Day out in MR MAGOO. !

Hi Arman
I Hope the video footage stacks up to the to the Great story.
Get your A#se over here ASAP so i can have a look at this Beast in action.
Had a quiet laugh when I called the little missus and she told me you would be home early for a change as the weather forecast was not that great. She still does live in HOPE doesn't she

OH Magoo You've done it again
Hi Arman
First time on the Web since we spoke Sunday.
Getting a bit annoyed with all successful reports you have been posting lately.
But the story & Pics sure make for an interesting read !!
The 50 sure looks a bit empty there on the mako's dive to the bottom.
Drop it over when you get a chance and we will do an autopsy on it to sort out any problems it may have developed.
Hope the Weather Gods are kind for this W/End as we are planning a trip Sat.
Talk to you soon

Hi Arman
When we heard you call the marlin on I thought straight away that you got it on a Livie, wasn't till a bit later we heard it was on a cube.
like to thank NIC NAT(Henry)for calling us over late in the trail to let us pinch a fish from there trail alsoNo problems calling you over as I'm sure you would do the same for us.
A bit spooky coming home in the dark from browns and we were a bit slower coming back as young Nick drove back and we told him to go as fast as he felt comfortable. Your Tub goes very well now with the new Motor and how much fuel did you use for the round trip ???
Planning to do it all again on Sat/Sun weather permitting ?
catch you soon

nice fish there tony
and ken is that a freezer truck in the background?
Hi Arman
It's his refrigerated work truck as he has his own smallgoods,etc,etc, run here in Sydney.
That is why he can fish during the week as he has Tuesday & Fridays off.
He's starting to give me the sh#t's now as he knew Diddly Squat when he joined the club and has already beaten my best Yellowfin (66.5 KG), Dolphinfish (13.0 KG) and now the blue eye. Not showing him anything any More.

Hi Everyone
Just posting a couple of shots of my Mate's Blue eye that he got last Friday at browns.
Largest one went 28.5 KG on the Lie Detector.
He also cubed for a couple of hours for 0 results
He will tell you more "IF" he has time to look at this post ??

hey NIC_NAT did you guys fish the banks or jb
would like to say thanks to marlin magic for helping us out with the marks
cheers arman
Hey Arman
We have to call each other more often on the mobiles as I was fishing on NIC-NAT Saturday but did not hear you on the radio (94) all day. Got some Horse livies at the bait ground (Crooky) but could not find the bait schools at the canyons so we dragged plastic around for all zero's. Launched at Shoalhaven Heads and travelled down by water as we were only going for the day but stayed overnight at Henry's relatives south of Nowra and drove home early Sunday
talk to you soon

Hi Nick
You must like climbing up and down Mountains if you went back down the river again in the afternoon.
Here are a couple of shots from the morning session including Kyle's 40CM bass.

Here's one of you and Kyle on one of your previous trips.

I don't think they get much bigger than that in Australia
Cheers

The FCA record last Time I looked was 4.1 KG and we have one hanging up in the club (AFA of NSW) that went 6 pound 13 ounces from the Georges River in the early 19 hundreds.

No hump on head = bream ..
MASSIVE bream !!
Does not mean it's a Bream just because there is no hump as a lot of XX0S snapper from NZ & Norfolk Island don't have humps as well.
Definitely a Thumping Big Yellowfin Bream

Well what do you know "Greedy" AKA Jose is at it again. Don't tell me he jagged the Yellowfin, Got sick of him getting all the marlin strikes on Mr Magoo down the Banks in February !!!. Congratulations Mad Mullet on some great results of late.
