Fished straight out on Sunday. Found a lot of beautiful water in 400 feet. No weed lines to be found. We actually found a bubble line never seen anything like it before. Foam bubbles everywhere in a rip. Bam the outrigger went off Colton picked up the rod and the line was peeling off. He kept saying it is going to spool the reel and about that time the marlin jumped and tailed walk for what seemed 100feet. He put on a show… We had to turn to him to gain back line. The penn 50tw was locked down on the drag but the marlin was still taking off more than we could gain back. We fought him for a long time, Colton was hot show we had to hose him down. He never gave up and finally we had the marlin beside the boat. Great fish; we released him and he was strong.

Well done Greg. Good stuff on the billfish for sure. It certainly is getting hot out there now and the bite is slowing. We only caught a handful of decent sized bulls and cows. We did get a mess of schoolies on spinning gear but that got old because they were so small.

Nice blue Miss Emily.

Forgot to mention thanks to Russell for the help and safe release of the marlin.

Anytime Gregg, thanks for the ride that was a great experience.

Looks like a great day Gregg – glad to hear you guys did well! Beautiful fish for sure. We fished straight out also but couldn’t make much happen. Did you guys do any diving this trip?

No diving on Sunday. I could not find a diving buddy. Everyone was occupied. Currents looked bad anyway; coming off of full moon.
