diesel Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 G,day fellow raiders long time no post but i think this one is worthy.My mats jeff rang me up on wedensday and said lets go marlin fishing of sydney as the water was a lovely 24.4 degress,so come 3:30 am on saturday we met up at his mate keirans house.Which had a kick ass boat with all goodies on it.Set from botany bay around 5:00 am, tried to get some bonito on the way to the first fad without any luck.So the captain decided to put out the outriggers with skirts on,mean while jeff and i had a line each with a couple of 4m diving lures(not sure what type).Trolled towards 12 mile reef when all of a sudden i see a dollie break the surface launching out of the water and my rod starts screaming,I picked it up and it was on 15 minutes later i had this beauty on board. Trolled around for a bit longer till the wind picked up and started to head for shore.Picked up 6 skipjacks on the way back to the ramp. The dollie went a meter thirty five and weighed 9 kg. Thanks to Jeff and Keiran for the top day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whittley580 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Diesel, Great catch there...they are certainly around at the moment, we were 5km off Cape Banks at the 70m line trolling a Rapala XRap deep diver 15 and hooked up to a solid Mahi...unfortunately lost him at the boat but we had a great look at him (big bull around the 120cm mark)...never seen a dollie that big before beautiful green/blue, magnificent Congrats...
