Sydneyfisher12 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 hey raiders headed out off sydney today trying to land my first marlin hit the water early and loaded up on slimies just outside the heads the water in close was cold and green so we headed wide. we set the spread 20km out and headed east as we went out more the water got warmer we got 27.5 there wasn't much out in the super hot water other than stripes so we made the descion to head in eventually the short corner went off at first i didn't think it was a marlin as i had only put this lure out in hope of a dollie it was barely 5" long. it was a marlin it had taken a spin combo with 60lb braid it put up a great fight with plenty of ariels after about 25 minutes we got a tag in and by 30 minutes i was holding the bill it was a first for me a black marlin (est 40-50kg) off sydney in my 480 coast runner. cheers sydneyfisher12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmk1962 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Great work ! .... your results are way better than our effort last Saturday - seems with the same intentions - 20km out set the spread and head east... but ended up with just stripey tuna and one legal dollie on the way back in to the FAD. Good on ya - good to know they are still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike89 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Just watched your video. Great fight! He sure didn't like having that tag stuck in him! Not an expert but the rod and reel seem a bit light to tackle a marlin, or no? Either way, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
