Ross Hunter Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Raiders, Sorry about the late report I have been waiting for the last photos from our anglers. What a wild weekend of big blues and healthy stripes as well as a smattering of yellowfin and big mahis For a full report on Easter and the last week of Pt Stephens visit this link www.gamefishingcharters.com.au It was Captain Glenn Hunter on BILLFISHER who, whilst fishing next to me hooked up a giant blue marlin, the big fish screamed off at an alarming rate as angler and 40th birthday boy David Hilne just hung on, as line poured off the big Shimano. One and a half hours later a 240 kg blue marlin was traced and then released back to nature, as all marlin are on our boats. On BROADBILL we found a tree floating down the currents which was loaded up with mahi mahi so we caught a swag on the light gear and the crew took them home for the table. On Sunday we caught two striped marlin both around 90kg One for first time angler and local Peter Hession and the other for first timer “Fishraider” Steve Mc Cabe both anglers released their marlin. We also dropped a sizable blue marlin earlier in the day. Then on Monday we caught a heap on striped tuna and two yellowfin to 40 kg All these fish were trolled on lures Other boats scored tuna to 70kg on the wide grounds…The tuna frenzy has begun PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT FORTNIGHT We will see some really exciting yellowfin fishing as well as blue and striped marlin on the wide grounds. BOOK NOW FOR SOME WILD TUNA ACTION The word is out that the tuna are running and last season we caught some horses in May, June and thru to September. Scroll back to this time last season for some great reports and proven results. Glenn and myself on our boats BROADBILL and BILLFISHER have been successfully catching tuna all our lives and you cannot be on more experienced boats that constantly produce fish.

Dreamtime Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wild Stuff - I wish you were operating here! Fabulous photos again. Is it only me, or is that a f*cking giant turtle under the Billfish shot above? Must be the best darn charter operator in town. Excellent results for your anglers who fork out their hard earned dollars. Cheers Mariner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
