Costs
The plan...drive up together share fuel....$150 each, registration $125 each, accomadation $200 per person for 5 nights....boat fuel $100 per person per day, plus food, alcohol if appropriate, tackle.......I think $1500-$2000 per person......The comp is filling up fast and accomodation needs to be booked ASAP.....probably can go 2 crew so there will be 4 of us.....email me your phone number rjackson@iinet.net.au

TLD's
Hey hoookt, dont underestimate TLD's. Because you dont have any 'bling', dont let that put you off chasing billies. Shimano have put some good gear into the TLD range, & as long as ya dont panic (like most of us do) when ya hook up, you should be able to have a good battle. I'm sure a lot of people have hooked, chased & landed billies as a result of an accidental hookup, & most on normal rods & reels not specifically designed for marlin etc. Give it a go & enjoy the power these fish hav. good luck. Rob
Cheers & Stay safe

cheers mate. i wouldnt have
cheers mate. i wouldnt have a clue about how big or small the gear would be but on most game fishin dvds or what ever i have seen there all massive internationals etc. is it because you need that much line or do they fit it with chunky mono line or what i wouldnt know, but all i know is i want to go catch them :D
