    Cograts Mate on the Solo Marlin!Yeah Peter I have had the GoPro fog up or the battery run out half way through the fight and then finding my spare and changing it while fighting a crazy Black Marlin...haha It is a bit freaky sometimes when out on the shelf solo and most of the time I don't see any other boats out there.. My biggest fear is getting pulled in while in the harness or having a Marlin jump in the boat.. The risk is worth the reward..

    Hey man normally troll about 6-8kn and run lures at different distances every time depending on changing conditions,run a short corner and a shotgun out the back and split those two with another one or two in between. Also if you run a teaser put a lure a few meters behind that. Very hard to clear everything when fishing solo but it's a challenge and great fun...

    Hey mate normally use an average of 50 litres a day fishing the shelf and trolling all day, a lot less if I fish livies...

    Went to Crowdy on Sat because water was unreal in close with plenty of fish a few days earlier, water ended up being 19.3 and green..just crap. The next day my mate headed to SWR cause their were little blacks everywhere but gone the next day and only a couple hooked and water was a bit green. Port sunday had a few boats hooking over 20 fish..what can u do, every day its different. .

    Good on ya for going out but I dont know why your crew were sleeping?? You should tell them to stay at home in bed if they want to sleep.. I stand up all day for more than 12hrs in a centre console, always on the lookout for a free swimmer, birds, bait etc..loosing good fish due to lazyness is not bad luck..and it is a stripey not a bonito- Your fired!

    Yeah true that mate, if I know the weather is going to turn bad in the arvo, I will head back early or not go out at all.. its good having a few boats out to, so U can split up and find the fish and for safety and just to talk to someone.. 12hrs trolling around can get to u after a while..when the bluefin turn up im keen 4sure! Cheers mate

    Thanks Paikea your concerns are appreciated.. The main thing I would say to fishos going Solo is to wear the lanyard to cut engine if U fall in or get pulled overboard by a good fish..I know of a couple of people that fell out of the boat and tried to climb back in and got chopped by the prop..not pretty. Cheers

    Yeah thanks dude, U only live once..live life to fullest..and fish every chance u get but dont get married..haha
  19. winki
    Yeah mate I know what your saying and believe me my family say the same thing.. I would hope fellow fishers use their brains and have the appropriate safety gear. I have been a fishing guide for many years working in remote locations and all weather conditions.. To me it is just as risky as jumping out of a plane, rock climbing, surfing and many other sports.. This is what I love to do for a challenge and I could easily go with mates that own 30ft + game boats but its not for me.. OLD MAN AND THE SEA STYLE. and I dont want to die doing this but if I do, so be it.. Thanks for your opinion and everyone is entiltled to there own opinion! See you out on the water..

    Na mate just went out myself on Sat and I like to find my own spots and try to stay away from other boats, so if u find the fish U have them all to yourself..cheers

    Thanks mate, the boat is a Polycraft and its the best boat I have ever owned for its size..really handles well and during the marlin season im out on the shelf nearly every week and the weather is not always perfect believe me! If U have anymore questions feel free to ask..cheers

    Na mate I live near Avoca, but I got a mate with a blue poly at Ourimbah..cheers

    Hey thanks guys, my boat is a 4.5m Polycraft. I Headed out from Broken Bay early Sat morn and headed out for the shelf in search of a big Yellow Fin or a nice Blue Marlin.. found plenty of stripies on the shelf but nothing else. I than head out further in search of better fish, I ended up finding most of the fish in 500 fathoms and a couple in 300 fathoms.. I was trying to fish a bit of temp break between 20.3 & 21.8.. conditions were nice and I was happy that I wasnt getting smashed by 30kn winds for a change.. Their is always next wk for the big Blue or YF.. cheers

    Hey guys, went out the other day fly fishing for blackfish off the rocks on the central coast and caught about 17 in a few hrs..this fish was the biggest for the session at 39.5cm and for once I had the measure with me,this fish was released to fight another day and hopefully I can catch him again when he reaches 50+...Great fun on the 8wt! Cheers
