Had an opportunity to spend a couple of days with Steve and Caroline at Ika Lahi last week.
Steve had just received advance copies of his new book "Blue Marlin Magic"and I was gobsmacked with it.
I won't attempt to review it as there will be plenty of that coming but I can say I have never seen a better book on the subject. The photography alone is worth the cover price but it is backed by his meticulous record keeping and experience.
I ordered mine this week, you can take a peek here www.bluemarlinmagic.com and I understand it is only available online.

I ordered mine about the same time, gather from the website that they are only taking preorders at this stage and nothing is likely to be sent until the end of October (around the 26th I think it was). Hopefully they are by now all on a fast boat to NZ .

This book looks very impressive... 1730 marlin!Clap

Excerpt... “Blues are precise—they are not clumsy crash-and-bash predators,” the author continues. “Most of the strikes were perfectly timed and at lightning-fast speed. They invariably went for the very back of the lure skirt, to a marlin the tail of 
the fish. Just before they hit, they slightly rolled their body to the side, making a sweeping, biting action to clearly clamp and hold the lure. The side-sweeping action explains why many blues never break the surface….” 



"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." - Jacques Cousteau
