first marlin of the season for indian summer! yesterday on newcastle canyons we released a est 80kg stripey on 24kg standup fish took a black purple lure on the long rigger in 80 fth's. Shit conditions all day long but the fish are out and about . ps saw a couple of 6m trailer boats out wide , it was blowin 25knots nor east and the sea was a sort sharp 2 to 3m , must have been bloody uncomfortable day for them!
