No billfish on a full moon?
We headed out for work today looking for dollies but all we could find were these pesky buggers. We ended up hooking 6, landing 3 and seeing 2 freejumping sails and had one free swimming marlin cruise under the boat. I handed over my first billy to Richo to try and get a few photos and then the lucky pink took care of the rest. The water was cobalt blue and near glass for most of the day, awesome viewing conditions. As I was the deckie for the day I sat and watched every billfish come in and attack the lures, was awesome to watch with the last billy absolutely smashing the lure. We also landed 3 striped tuna and dropped a yellowfin tuna. We were only out for 4.5 hours, it was unfortunate not to get our target, but theres always next time. :)
I managed to get a few good shots before my camera battery died. Hope you enjoy.

Top photos Adam. We trolled
Top photos Adam. We trolled for about 3 hours today and only raised 3 fish and hooked one of them but lost it. Believe Feral (Clint) got 6 dollies today but didn't see any billies. What area were you fishing?

what camera & lens
Hi Adam. Excellent pictures. I was just curious what camera & lens was used for the jump shots & were the close jump shots cropped at all? Cheers.

50d - 18-200
Yeh mate, the camera was a canon 50d with 18-200mm lens and polariser, the shots have been cropped considerably and a little play on picasa (didn't change much) The fish was probably 30-50m from the boat which I have found to be a pretty good length for these type of shots.
