Headed out east of Botany Bay making our way to the Botany fad Water looked fishy with lots of bird life and water temp going up. Started trolling in 60 fathoms had 2 bites from small marlin in the next 2 hrs but no real hook up . Got to the fad lots of boats out so we stayed out wider and fished North had a fish come up close on the short corner had a couple of wacks then went for the short rigger and smashed it hard hook up 1 mile north of fad first run was 300m angry fish my mate was on strike on 24kg

20 min later fish at the boat tag in him a nice 80kg black marlin a couple of photos and let him go trolled a couple more hrs but went a bit quiet so packed up and went home

Lots of boats out lots of fish caught or lost and good size dollies caught on the troll and heard a 24kg wahoo on the shelf were the water was 24.7

Time to get out and have a go boys
