LOL, sounds hilarious, got ambushed by a school of flying fish

Did you have revenge on the demonic mullet with wings and put him out as bait or what?

Bad luck on the marlin, 3 strikes and no fish but at least you got some good dollies.

Bad luck Mad_Mullet on the beakies, heard you on the radio chatting to arman about your first strike. At least you did better than most on the dollies, every fad or fish trap we tried had either no dollies or they were not really on the chew only managed 4.As for the flying fish sounds like they came off second best running into the mullet. Hows the kidneys?

Cheers Mike

Sounds like a great day on the water!!!! heaps of dollies around at the moment! not to many biguns though.

shame about the hookups. What rigs are you running? stiff? single ? double?

Well done Mad Mullett.......What a classic!!! All of us on Marquis had a good laugh listening on the radio!!! Bad luck on the "bites"

We were lucky enough to go 2 2 1 for the day. Tagged a nice Stripe Marlin around 70kg in 130 fathoms east of Botany Bay. The trusty Pakula medium Lumo Sprocket was the lure of choice.

Went out yestaday on the 47' Riviera Seadeuce,did very well on the dollys at the wide FAD. Water temp was amazeing at 26.5 degrees!!!!

Had a troll for a few hours for zeros but did see 3 free jumping beakies. Looks good for the Port Hacking comp this weekend.
