BRUTUS Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Any news from day 1? Working all weekend so chomping at the bit to get out! A couple of tiger sharks, 1 @ 470 KG something, 1 marlin captured,(Rampage). A few dolphin fish, 1 Yellow fin, all in all VERY Quiet. Please correct me if incorrect, only there for a quick look !!!!

wise one Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The mighty "Gale Force" (Viking 54) won the T&R competition with a single striped marlin on 10KG which was switch baited early Sunday afternoon in 5m seas with a 30knot wind blowing! This is the rather large set at the point of hookup: This is what the cockpit looked like when we were backing downn on the fish: The celebrations after the tag went in: With that fish we won: - Champion Angler T&R - Champion Boat T&R Marlin - Champion Boat T&R Overall Lowsy conditions, but a happy crew! Lets hope the yellowfin turn up soon because the marlin fishing is certainly very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangas Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 thats some awesome pics there. i doubt any trailerboats wouldve lasted in those conditions. Great effort on10kg line, how big was the stripey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wise one Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 thats some awesome pics there. i doubt any trailerboats wouldve lasted in those conditions. Great effort on10kg line, how big was the stripey? Only a small fella - circa 50KG. We didn't know how big it was when we switched, but were happy it was a baby once we hooked up and started chasing it. A bigger fish on 10kg would have probably gone deep and been impossible to get up in the attrocious conditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
