Polynemus_sheridani Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Hi all Well what can I say this was a great day on the water, after the early start of leaving Port Stephens at 5am we headed south towards Broken Bay where the Broken Bay GFC had their tournament on, we where fishing the central zone this weekend only so just after 7am we had a spread of lure in the water and started to work futher south, just past the car park we found some bait. We pulled all the lures in and jigged some bait up and put them back down and sat on the bait for a while with no results, so pulled up stumps and put a lure spread out and worked south then around 11am we found some great bait in 60fa, so up come the lures and down went the jigs. Up come the bait and then down we sent them to the bait ball, about 15min later one of the reels starts slowly taking line then all of a sudden up comes a fish off to one side of the boat one of the guys Nick called it for a free jumper but it wasnt, it was our fish going nuts trying to throw the bait so we are now on to a great striped marlin of about 90kg after a 20min fight Kostas marlin is wearing a tag and high fives all round. Back to the bait and we do it all over again, bait down and we are on again another striped marlin of about 90kg for Nick. That fish was then tagged so back to the bait again, bait goes down then we are on again this time a nice fish of about 100kg and Nick is on again, tag goes in and that is 3 fish we where all on a high, so back to the bait again. Down goes the bait and we are on again, this time i am on the rod the fish didnt jump once in the whole fight we get the fish close a couple of time to a nice striped marlin of about 120kg the struggle goes on for about 1hr then we get the tag shot and in it goes, more high fives again. So back to the bait and down we go again, then we get hit again only min later this time the hook didnt set and we lost the fish, checking the other baits to find that one had also been hit and was squashed, reset the baits and this time the surface bait goes off with a crack as it comes out of the rigger and the reel is screeming, Henry is on the rod and a nice striped marlin about 90kg is screeming across the surface we backed down on the fish, we are going full stick backwards and we are still losing line at a rate of knots, 20min later we have the tag in and the trace cut. What day all in all 6-6-5 a great day for us all. Here are a couple of pictures from a great day.

BRUTUS Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 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. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polynemus_sheridani Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 It is the Marlin stomach they have the ablity to throw it to try and get rid of something that wasnt nice, it can either be pushed back into the fish by us or they will get it back in themselfs. The marlin was in great nic and swam away health as. Yeah.. I was wondering the same thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
