Exmouth marlin

i had a epic 3 day live aboard trip on the diversity Exmouth 38' black watch on my last break.

We didn't get the lures in the water till 11 the first bay but managed a 4-4-3 on blacks 1-1-1 on stripes and 2-1-1 on sails.

The 2nd day got us a grand slam 1-1-1 blues 4-3-3 blacks 2-1-1 on stripes and 1-1-1 on sails. Also got a 35-40kg yellow fin tuna and pulled 6 nice ruby snapper.

We had a early start on the 3rd day and managed 2-2-2 blacks 2-1-1 on stripes before 11:00 but had to head for the marina to make our 3:30 flight back to Perth

 That place just seems to get better every report I read .Looks like you guys had a bloody great time .Shame the conditions weren't the best . Do you think the marlin numbers are increasing or what. Will be heading back up that way sometime in the future, thought I had it all at the Abrolhos but the billie lure is to strong. good report and some great pics now get back to work.

 Mate are you ever not fishing?!

Love your work

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
