wacko Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 A very, very big day!!!! Start at 1am.....dong some fresh live squid in quick time.....get to Jew spot at 2am....catch jewies.... 6am, blast out to continental shelf and put lure spread out......time now is 8.30am.......lures get totally smashed by TWO marlin at 9am.....double hook-up but first fish throws lure from it's bill..... Still connected to other marlin......it jumps 10mtrs from boat and we identify it as a nice Blue marlin of approx 350lb!......9.45am, I grab leader and pull marlin to boat...still not ready goes for a power dive and we are still fighting the Blue........ 10.15am, I grab leader again and this time we get lure and release an awesome fish!! Fish swims away and Drazen is stoked cause' it's his first 'captured' marlin. 11am.....deep drop at browns mountain.....catch ooglies like Gemfish, Ocean perch etc. Blue Eye cod today are quiet. 1.30pm Resume trolling......... 3pm, I spot a free swimming marlin. We get close enough and troll around it for no hook-up. Marlin is still there so we drive boat slowly to fish and I cast popper 6ft away from it's nose. Marlin races to popper but does not eat it. Goes underwater and is never seen again. This time I filmed the whole scenario.......only part missing was the fish eating the popper!! doh!....next time... Time now is 5pm.......no more action on the troll.....blast to secret inshore snapper spot. First drop, Trevally then Snapper, Flathead, Pike, Morwong. 6pm.....hook onto much bigger snapper. Line is zinging from the reel. 14lb leader gets hammered onto reef....lose fish. 6.30pm......pack up and head back to boat ramp inside the harbour. Totally knackered, but well worth it! Asleep at 10pm......dreaming of Big snapper lost and unidentified marlin on double-hookup and marlin that did'nt eat popper!! Cheers, Wacko. P.S- I might edit that marlin/popper footage and put on you-tube for those keen to watch. Rob's Jew Drazen Jewie Drazen Fighting marlin Marlin ready for leader. (Thats a 14inch lure hanging there, gives indication to size of fish) Nice pan size snapper Mixed Bag fish box Wacko.
