Game Changer

We were wide of heatons but not that wide, wish we saw them. We were using 100lb braid on the main line and a 300lb leader. What type of braid were you using on the main line? Thanks

Hopefully the fin come back in numbers

Headed out to browns and heatons today in search of some tuna as well as some gem fish. Didn't see any tuna all day despite all our efforts to find them. We decided to go deep and find some gemmies, first drop saw nothing, but on the second we loaded up with what we think we're two gemmies, on the way up the line seemed to just let go, we later managed to land some gemmies and make it worth while, after being sealed or sharked not completley sure. The line we were using was dog tooth code-X8 100lb , not sure if it was just unlucky or the line. Can anyone recommend a good quality braid for fishing the deep? Would be greatly appreciated. Overall it was a fairly good day (weather wise) but no tuna, but that's just fishing I guess. How did everyone else go today? Thanks

thanks mate, hopefully they come on soon

Heading to hawaii at the end of the month and im looking to take a charter while im there. I've been looking at the charters but havn't been able to choose one. Wondering if anyone has fished with or can recommend a charter in Waikiki? thanks

Hey, Thinking of heading off sydney this weekend, maybe out to Browns mountain in search of some tuna and marlin. Wondering if anyone has had any luck out there or heard anything? Thanks

Hi guys heading up to port stephens this weekend. Wondering if anyone has heard of any marlin or dolphin fish being caught lately? Where should I be heading? Anything would help as we are fairly new to marlin fishing. Thanks

Hi guys heading up to port stephens this weekend. Wondering if anyone has heard of any marlin / dolphin fish being caught lately? And where i should have the best luck heading to get one?

The bait was everywhere, they were around the 60-100m, but the bait balls were sitting around 20-50m down

Just off port and a little north we were coming across lots of bait balls and seeing marlin cruising along... But we couldn't manage to hook any

Thx mate, on Sunday a boat headed south and hooked nothing, so I think north is looking good so far, depending on the temp

Hi guys, spent the weekend up in Port Stephens. Hoping to get a marlin. We woke up early Saturday morning to a strong North-easterly wind, but we still headed out. We gathered yellow tail and headed out. We made the decision to head north to seal rocks, we set the spread and trawled around the shallows for a little, we then decided to head out to the deeper water where we had a strike but didn't manage to hook up. Not long after that the Long rigger went off zzzzzzzzz we were hooked on a small black marlin, 5 minutes later we had it along side and released. We got some pretty cool footage which ill put up later. Shortly after that we had another strike but didn't manage to hook the fish, we were in about 60-70m. Sunday we headed out again and headed out to fad to find nothing, we then headed back out the front and came across a number of bait balls, the marlin were everywhere just casually cruising around, we tried everything but we were unable to get a strike the water was 23-24 degrees. but still was a fun weekend, How did everyone else go?

Heading up to Port Stephens this weekend, this is our first time heading up and we are targeting marlin, snapper, squid and kingies, we were wondering if we could have some help with where to fish (possibly coordinates)? Thanks

Thanks much appreciated

Thanks mate, do you know if they were trawling or live baiting when they hooked up?
