Adrian H Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Quick report on the 3/1/15 Headed out to glassed out conditions before the southerly was meant to come up. Plan was to work the 2 Fads off Sydney. Got to the peak and the sounder was lifeless, besides 3 pigfish off the bottom we decided to throw the spread out and head east. The further out we went the warmer it got, we were still 6 mile from the wide fad when I almost ran over a marlin sunning himself on the surface. Just as were approaching the botany wide fad, we seen a very small black marlin chasing bait on the surface, 2 passes around him and we had him in the spread, he had 2 whacks at the short corner before giving up. Heading back in we were 2 miles from the peak the long rigger gets hit, hard. Cleared the rest of the spread and settled in, no jumps at all which made me question what was on the end of the line. After a 20 min fight we had a mako shark next to the boat. A very strange capture for a shark on a trolled lure, but ill take that as a consolation prize any day. A good way to break the boat into 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikea Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Top Post Adrian, thank you for sharing what was clearly a top day. BTW, is that a Cruisecraft that you fish from? I always like to know the type and size of boats that Raiders take out wide. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
