spanner Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 i made the trek up to port as well for the weekend to fish the comp... got about 4 hits on sat with no hook ups.. sunday was also very quiet untll 430.. we pretty much gave up pulling livies so decided to pull them in and change to lures for the trip home.. we had one livie in when the guys spotted a marlin having a ago at the teaser... so i pulled in the over livie and the marlin smashed it.. the boys on the flybridge were calling it 130kg+ blue.. he was lit up like xmas tree and headed straight for the horizon.. as they were strapping me in i tied to apply pressure to the fish.. then it all went wrong.. the penn 50w drags washer must have heated up so i was pretty much fighting the marlin in free spoon.. we all basically waved goodbye to it.. not happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juiced Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Mind blowing stuff mate!! Roughly how many kms were you out? I'm thinking of heading down that way but the boats a little too small.. DAN Cheers mate we headed about 35 mile north which is about 65 km that was north thoughwe were only about 10 mile 18 kms from the coastal line well done tay. top stuff i guess you got the 1st marlin out of all the boys. hey john sure was mate told the boys that if anyone touched the first rod that went offthat i was going to break there legs..haha so they left the rod for me thats brillant work there Tay. i love the idea of luring the marlin in and then throwing a livie out to complete the job. well done cheers yeah when tou hook up with lures theres only a 30% catch rate but when you get him on a livie he tends to swallow the hook so your success rate is alot higher mate its the only penn on the boat and hopefully i will never see it again!! good luck next weekend mate haha cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR@ZY OS@M@ Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) you crack me up tay. sure is a way of getting to catch the marlin first by threatening to break there legs well done. hope you land a lot more this weekend Edited February 28, 2007 by Crazy John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
