Went for a fush today with my fushing rods.

Sick of raising fish virtually every trip with the only solid hookups being hairy marlins

Thought today was the day first strike came on port rigger we were fushing 37 kg's so strike made no impact rod bending over looked up saw fish just b4 it disappeared but no go with line leaving reel.

A minute or so later saw a marlin coming in from starboard rigger lure hone in back onto evil on port rigger but again rod buckled & prob 12" of line leave the reel may very well have been the same fish going from lure to lure.

40 minutes or so later plic of a striped came in starboard transom had big woofie there in case a blue was lurking about geez these little stripes have had a taste for my big lures of late & again a short burst from the ratchet & it was gone.

1/2 hr later chris yells out MARLIN
It was 200 odd meters in front of the boat jumping awaty merily so got a few 1/2 decent looks @ it & i said to chris it was not a marlin had me stumped though not close enough to positive id it I thought MAKO white underbelly dark top then saw wun more along side it.

Definately not dolphins my thoughts said maybe YFT guess i'll never know not close enough to tell for sure even though got plenty of lookies

Tracked sth after that & finally we were in came in on starboard rigger took about 80 meters of line & once again i didn't like what i wasn't hearing

Seems I cant win of late did take a few shots of a nutter fish hooked out there was a bit far away @ 200 meters so shots aren't that crash hot a wittle stripe

Nice report Jumpy

I'm sure you'll get some good fish soon, but hey, you are always out there trying, that's the main thing, better the my boring day at school

Oh, BTW, do you want to borrow my Ben10 wristband ? the marlin will be jumping all over your lines but you have to give it back..

At least you're raising them mate, they're a great looking fish eh? Power to burn.

Was it a bit lumpy out there?

Hey guys long time no post, been working and slaving, looking after my baby girl who was not too well.
Nice work and nice shots Ange, maybe the thing you saw was a Manta Ray seen them leaping out there many times in pairs.

About time you pulled your finger out & did some work kamil

ps] i gave birth to 3 alloy girls of my own

Na definatly a fish not a ray did hear of a shortbill spearfish hooked on the day may have been one of those

Yeah i know you did Jed's one but did not know you made more? Gonna have to look into that. I have not had much time as you can imagine with a young one in the picture now but times were also tough for us in the last few months with her but all is well now. Good to see you're out and getting into the fishies. Nice work with them and the boats!

Will have to catch up soon. Will tee up a time with you when i can. we Have not fished for 2 years now and probably wont or a while still!

wouldve been a cracker weather wise today mate.
Good pics of the marin, wouldve been better with a lure in its mouth beside the boat.
Im telling you the big boat has an evil eye cast upon it. Take it past a church and tip a bucket of holy water over it.
On the way out pinch some change from the donation plate for a couple of bottles of V for the inconvenience....

Love it Phil...

He has even advanced to 'blaming me'... calls me the 'fishscarer' now...

I tell him he has to work harder out there, if he wants to get rewarded...
