jimnicdusty Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 went off shore on friday, took a mates new 5m plate boat out to browns to do our first deep bottom bash befor we went tuna chasing. on our second drop to the bottom we pulled up a nice blue eye which was a first for me. we done a couple more drops and my mate caught a nice one too. with 3 blue eye in the esky went for a troll looking for some tuna. we trolled east from browns for about an hour we had 5 skirts and one bibless lure running out the back when the bibless lure rod got a hit which made the lure loose its track and it hit the surface doing a bit of cart wheeling. i started winding it in flat out so i could fix it and drop it back out but it dived in and started swimming properly about 3m off the back of the boat and then all of a sudden it got smashed. well 1hr 20min later i had my first marlin at the side of the boat and to say the least we were pumped what a buzz. after a few pics we swam her and let her go. we thought it was a striped marlin because of the stripes and the colours when it hooked up. but after asking some guys and showing them some pics and the gopro footage they said its not a stripey its a blue. to top it off we were on our way back in and got a tangle with 2 of the skirts so we pulled up to untangle them and a small mako swam up to the back of the boat so i quickly put out a shark rig and in 5min i had my first mako in the boat. 3 first in the one day and a day with a good mate will be one that wont be forgoten.
