cheers guys, I just cant wait to get stuck in to another one, I was nervous for most of the fight with he first one, it was a relief to get to the leader!

Great to see a few other fishos also getting their first marlin! nicely done solo! What a buzz!

thanks mate- you can see how good the water was! current was 2-3knts that day, went out yesterday at it was 5-6 knts, tough going uphill in that!

Happy new year all, Heres a video I have put together of my first marlin for myself and my boat just before xmas. It was a Blue and about 120-130kg based on its length. Put on a good aerial for us! Water was 26deg. Tight lines, Shane

cheers Framedtrash! il try that when i get through my GW!

Guys, thanks for all your replies. I picked up 10L of it (GW) a couple of days ago. I think I will give it a shot to see how it performs, and switch back to the yamalube (which the previous owner used) if i can get it in Coffs Harbour. I did a quick ring around and haven't found anyone who stocks it yet!! tight lines Shane

Hi All, I am about to buy some oil and see that you can get two 4L of GW for $40 which seems a good deal for my 130 yamaha. However, is this stuff any good? Anybody have any technical reasons why? And if its crap, what do you recommend brand wise. Thanks Shane.

HI Nick and Leo, Any chance you guys could post a pic of your outrigger's setup on the boat? I'm in the process of getting some for my Stejcraft 5.8. Any images would be appreciated. I am looking at getting them from Gary at Seriously Stainless. Thanks Shane
