Exmouth Billfish - video added!
Submitted by catch.fish on Sat, 2013-12-21 09:21
Just got back from a few days chasing billfish with Josh from Onstrike - weather was pretty atrocious all week but we toughed it out and got amongst some serious billfish action! This trip was for a couple of the young fellas birthdays so I took a bit of a back seat and did a lot of filming and helping them out. Got lots of great footage - big smiles all round with all the lads getting onto there first billfish and spanish macks having only ever caught whiting & herring before this! Was a birthday I dont think they'll forget anytime soon!!
Few pics:

Cheers
Thanks guys!
Yep, all black marlin! A good way to spot the difference is by pec fins - blacks are rigid and cant fold back while blues can tuck them back against there body.
We did have a good size blue hit a skirt at one stage but no hookup! Also had a few sailfish and a wahoo in the mix but only got those on video no photos. Got some crazy footage of them getting aerial boatside, will start putting a vid together asap!
