Marlin

Nice little blue we hooked locally yesterday. Unfortunately parted with the hook after 15 minutes. Good to see a bit of Metro billie action. Attached another pic

 Well done,  it's such an exciting time when it happens. We had a quadruple hook up on stiped marlin 4 weeks ago. We were 5 miles west of the southern most fad. ...where did you hook up? ? What was the water temp? ?

Got him about 100km north of Perth mate, in about 250m Most water was around the 24.5 mark but we found a patch as high as 25.8 and we hooked up not far from there.
