Jurien Marlin
Hey Guys
With all the talk about marlin in jurien and the great weather that was predicted for thursday we decided to make the drive up for the day. We left at 3:30 and had the boat in the water at 6 rigged and ready to go. I had never been fishing off jurien before so just headed out and B-lined it straight to the fad. Once i got about half way i noticed the birds working and bait on the sounder so decided to put the pushers out, before long we have a big run on the long corner untill that came unstuck. Another hour passed and the long corner went again, this time with a 60kg black jumping and going nuts, we got all the gear in and proceeded to gain line when again the hooks came unstuck, i assume this little bugger wrapped the leader not hooking up. We trolled around for the rest on the day, dollies where shut down and tuna where very flighty, around 1:30 the shotgun went nuts with a black jumping out the back, before long we had a black landed, few snaps later and he was released to fight another day
got 28.2 degrees of water out there.
fish was caught on richter oscar jnr 502/506, the other two fish were hooked on oscar jnr 605/922 and a Polu Kai caveman 9in evil
heres a few pics

Nice work Definitely think it
Nice work
Definitely think it is time to tow the boat up there for a trip!
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.

Nice marlin Luke. Absolutely
Nice marlin Luke. Absolutely awesome season for pelagics. The Jurien FAD's have proved their worth several times over. Probably wont be as hot next year, but will still be great fishing.
Chucking some livies down the bait school and picking up some marlin not on pushers would be very interesting indeed.

hours of boredom then minutes of fun
good on you for with sticking with it, more than lures,depths etc although important
bluewater trolling and its rewards come to those who put in the hours/days
well done
