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? ?

That's just fantastic. Doesn't it get the hart pumping when they hit. Love catch them. Good to here there still in town

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.
