was at broken bay FAD sunday morning - the water was 20.5c most of the way (green) untill about 4 miles from the fad it jumped to 23.5c and glorious blue. could explain the marlin you hooked!
managed 3 x dollies undersized. there were heaps there jumping around but shy. nice marlin bait ! all were caught on pilchards and 1st 1/2 hour of light. looking forward to them growing up.
got a few nanniguy at 60metres on the way back. nothing else.
