Had one in the gear today 160m inside hook. Pulled some string then dropped it. About 10 boats working the hook when we were there and 2 fish taken from that approx area with another taken in shallower.

Was a great first Marlin for Michael and second for the boat.
Thanks to JP & Tony @ yeehaa (awesome custom lure Big smile, second swim second strike  - this time a solid hook up).
 
The crew also thank Arthur @ Tairua Sport Fishing Club, Carl on Epic and Brett at Tairua butcher - fantastic support and encouragement. Great to see such passionate people involved in the sport.
 
We had a smaller fish up in the lures earlier in the day, but could not tease it into take a Black Magic Freedom Glandslam in evil. Also caught a small but angry Mako on the way back in.

Any1 got any news from down this ways, heading dwn this weekend for a look?
Seems to have gone very quiet down here over the last week.
People say if fishing was easy then it would be called catching, I say these people who say that obviously had a bad day's fishing.

Nice, thanks for that, had a look at an sst today and that doesnt even look to appealing, looks like all the good water has moved down further south into the BOP.

What was the water like down that way?
 
Bad luck on the blue hopefully tomorrow is better for you.
 
we are thinking of heading down there saturday rather than off the mercs, looks like better water down off the aldies at the mo
