Gamex 09 Day 5

Another quick gamex report of day 5.  41 marlin tagged and 5 sailfish for the day.   Benno from Bluewater tagged a 500lb black and there were quite a few smaller fish around 170-120kg landed.  At the weighing station last night there were 2 marlin and a sailfish weighed in.  Marlin 1 went 114.5 kg on 24kg line class and was a good call from the angler saying it was 110kg.  The other marlin was 30kg and the sailfish 15kg, both on 10kg line class.  There were plenty of dolphinfish caught yesterday and quite a few wahoo.  Lots of boats stayed out for the nightfish last night, so I'm expecting a big final night tonight with maybe a broadbill to be brought in.  Will wait and see and give you the final run down tomorrow.

Cheers,

Adam

The hoo's were about 14-15kg.

The big billfish died boatside.  The other marlin swallowed a bait and had his guts hanging out and not sure about the sailfish (they both came in on the same boat).  I don't really get involved in that side of things as a representative of the dept.
