Well the new fishing blog is pretty much finished and a nice aside from the strictly marlin fishing here. Especially in quiet winter months before our season kicks off again in August (Townsville) and September (Cairns).
I’ll continue to update as often as possible.

A tad delayed… but some shots from the AIBT. POB on a deep dark mystery and Leigh and team with our only point scoring fish. On the whole, fishing was slow. I believe from 29 boats, there were just the 5 Billfish released over the two days. Champion Team went to the guys on board Port Stephens boat Diversion. On board Reel Chase our team were the top point scorers from TGFC and we had a ball regardless of the fishing! This weekend sees the re-scheduled (due to bad weather) Gold Coast GFC Cabo Blue Marlin Classic. Looking forward to hearing how that goes. A few boats that I heard went out over the last weekend did get a few strikes so hopefully that will also be the case this weekend. The 17/18th weekend also sees the inaugural Stebercraft Blue Marlin Classic at Foster/Tuncurry. If you have any reports from either of these comps, don’t hesitate to send along .Capt. Luke and I are taking our annual vacation to the land of the rising sun as of tomorrow and so we will miss both. Don’t feel too sorry for us though, I have the feeling we’ll be getting our fishing fix and more over there! Capt. Luke gets a quick Barra fix last weekend in the Gulf.

Flickr is a great and free way to store, sort, search and share your photos online. If you don’t already have an ID, signing up is instantaneous and easy. Flickr helps you organize the photos you have and offers a way to share them. Why not share your marlin photos with the BMFB group?

Joining BMFB Group:
When you’re signed up/logged in, simply search for the “Black Marlin Fishing Blog” group, hit ‘join’, and you’re in!

Adding your photos to BMFB Group:
First upload your photos. You can do this with multiple photos at a time. The easiest way add a particular photo to the BMFB group is to go to the photo’s page and click the “Send to Group” button between the photo title and the photo. Then choose the group you want to send it to (Black Marlin Fishing Blog), and you’re done!

Useful information that I have learned about Flickr is that your photos won’t appear in the group page until your Flickr account is deemed ‘safe’. Basically this means that your photos don’t contain adult only content etc. Flickr will review your account after signing up to determine the safety level. It takes a couple of days. I believe the review doesn’t begin however until you have a minimum of 5 photos uploaded.

Adding your photos to the group:
The easiest way add a photo to the group is to go to the photo’s page and click the “Send to Group” button between the photo title and the photo. Then choose the group you want to send it to (Black Marlin Fishing Blog), and you’re done!
