Was at the Kawhia weigh station yesterday and to date there has been 40 weighed/tagged marlin so far this season, probably a club record for numbers, but there has been a sh*t load of out of town boats fishing so that may have some influence on those results.

Raglan looking good so far for Sunday, any one venturing out? Has anything been caught lately?
Cant beat hunting and Fishing in N.Z
Went out last Wednesday spent about 9 to 10hrs did 163km, no action where I was, went South of Gannet but probably not far enough oh for a bigger fuel tank. May be more jerry cans. Didnt see any bait fish during the day. So back to Plan A next week if the weather plays ball.

The fb RSFC page said that there were at least 4 weighed in, one going 128 kg
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Had another go yesterday, tried out behind Gannet. Had 1 strike at 95m took about 50m line then disappeared. Then seen a free jumper in same area suspect it was the same fish showing off, that it had its freedom. Spent a few hrs in the area then decded to go north as there didn't seem to be any bait fish in the area. Wasn't any better north, radio was pretty quiet most of the day although did hear a few call up for weighins at Raglan. Never seen it so flat out there was like a lake until we came back in to go home.

Was off New Plymouth chasing them on Saturday. Headed straight off port to the 100m mark and trolled north. Good signs of bait closer in on the 100 so after heading north to not much going on turned around and worked the 100 closer in where there was plenty of albacore.
After boating 8 albies we put a small marlin lure on the shotgun, running 15kg... sure enough that was the one that went. Fought for about 20 minutes and got to the wind on. Was about half a metre from a gaff shot when it broke off at the boat. Straightened out the swivel clip so suspecting it might have come undone somewhere there. Nice fish, would have gone 100kg.
Gutted not to boat it but stoked on the action and it'll live to see another day!
Great effort there Muzz
Lesson learned there I'm sure.

The local newspaper reports 2 stripies/day off New Plymouth in the past week. Water now up in the 20s and Port carpark was full this morning.
Nice muzz. Getting the bites by the sounds.

Had a good day out yesterday at Raglan first real try this season for a Marlin. Waiting for that window of opportunity to line up with my days off.
Headed out to the area commonly called the 124, put the lures in the water at 70m. Hardly a boat in sight after seeing the carpark at Manu bay was pretty full for a Wednesday. Came across patches of Skippys and Albacore from 65 meters out put out a small feathered lure to check out what they were. Kept the Skippy for bait and let the Alby go. Stuck to the plan and kept on heading out further. Found more boats from the 100m line so thought this must be the area. Further out we seen a fish out on the surface, my first thoughts were it was a shark so kept my distance, my called it for a Marlin so went for a closer look, didn't take long before it took a liking to the purple and black Zuker lure and it was all on. Went on some good runs as we were both new to Marlin fishing get it to the boat didn't go to well, ended up breaking the leader close to the boat, manged to get a short video of it on the phone. Carried on trolling around the area for a few more hrs but no luck decided to go back to where the other boats were as were in 184m when we hooked up. There were still lots of fishing breaking the surface Skippys and Albies so kept us motivated to find another marlin. We kept the lures in the water most of the way back in as decided to have a Snapper fish at 58m started packing up the gear and then out of nowhere we had another strike in 70m on the Bonze D shackle. Fish went ballistic and took around 300m of line before we got it under control. Unfortunately after a very short fight it dropped the lure so guessing it might of been bill wrapped not actually hooked. Did 156km and used 72lts for the day and spent the best part of 10hrs out there. Were not using the light gauge hooks.
