Another wild weekend of weather on the Gold Coast and another weekend of fishing down the drain as Capt. Jim cancels planned trips. I did get around to a little bit more of the video editing from last year - it's such slow progress - so thought I'd share a couple of more clips.

Especially in quiet winter months before our season kicks off again in August (Townsville) and September (Cairns). I hope you'll stop by here .

I'll continue to update both as often as possible.

Tom who has just spent another 10 days fishing south from Norfolk Island to the Wanganella Banks. Fishing 2 days initially closer to Norfolk the team found some great structure and in the two days ended up with 8 Marlin, including 3 Black Marlin (3-400lbs) and the remaining Stripeys as well as some Yellowfin to 50kg. Not a bad effort at all!

But while the fishing slowed over the moon, the last two days at Wanganella lived up to everything that we have ever heard about the fishery and more. 24 and 19 respectively - 24 Marlin being Ultimate Lady's new daily record. At one stage they fought 6 fish at once!!! This trip also marked their first Black Marlin at Wanganella, a nice one sized about 500lbs.

I hope we get to see another DVD made of this trip! :-) ]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:46:09 +1000 [$DocumentRoot$]/C1652359707/E20080403174609/index.html [$DocumentRoot$]/C1652359707/E20080403173352/index.html Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:33:52 +1000 [$DocumentRoot$]/C1652359707/E20080403173352/index.html [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080312080139/index.html News from John and Meg Batterton at Middlesex NZ via Tim from Bluewater of some amazing World Record captures fishing with owners Eryn and Guy on board the "Hookin' Bull" this past weekend. Eryn just missing the mark with her first fish (85.2 kg on 4 - just .5kg shy of the current world record) brought it home with her second stripey which tipped the scales at 94kg - a new pending World Record - a great effort after a 3 hour battle.

Following up and not to be outdone, Guy weighed a 105kg striped marlin on 1kg line - another fantastic world record claim. Congrats guys!

Reports from the Gold Coast - Blues are there to catch, unfortunately the weather doesn't let us....! Hopefully the weather improves soon. ]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 08:01:39 +1000 [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080312080139/index.html [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080305200146/index.html Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:01:46 +1000 [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080305200146/index.html [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080303073015/index.html Mon, 03 Mar 2008 07:30:15 +1000 [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080303073015/index.html [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080303070839/index.html Sun, 02 Mar 2008 07:08:39 +1000 [$DocumentRoot$]/C243545179/E20080303070839/index.html [$DocumentRoot$]/C1047693115/E20080229093254/index.html The weather has gone from bad to worse to okay and back to worse again. By the consensus of word on the dock, tomorrow (Saturday's fishing) looks likely to be cancelled again while Sunday looks not too bad.

Thursday saw the wild weather come through earlier than predicted and gave us a very memorable ride home. Hopefully one not to be repeated. With our team up from Sydney stuck in traffic, we got a very late start, missed the early bite (Kekoa successfully released a double-header before 9am) and only got two hours fishing in before it all went to sh!t.

Back to Wednesday which was by far the glamour day of the season (of course being our day off in Port) boats fishing the mid-week Salamander Shores tournament found the fish back down at the original car park. Listening on the radio it was all 1-1-1 and 2-2-2 each sked. Kekoa, not fishing the tourn, and Running Bear had the best day each with four fish, while numerous boats followed up with 3 and 2.

On Wednesday Kekoa reported bait balls at the car park with Striped Marlin feeding on the surface. We saw the same again Thursday - it was a great sight to see!

And on Tuesday, T-Star had a top day with their single lady angler scooping the Ladies Day tournament releasing her first, second, third and fourth Marlin!

Back North
Ultimate Lady has been doing a spot of Blue Marlin fishing from the Gold Coast down to Yamba and released 6 from 9 on Wednesday. The overnight drift unfortunately took them a good deal away from the spot in the fast current (um... 30 miles...) and trying to work their way back there on Thursday they only managed one from three.

In NZ
Reports have been good for the Blue Marlin fishing as well, big ones at that. There was a 442kg Blue weighed on the North Island as well as another two fish over 320kg.
