The water is cooling down and the fishin

It was a great day on the water with the guys. We started off at one of the nearby fads and were getting covered up by small Yellowfin, Skipjack and even a Rainbow Runner. After deciding they wanted to go for something bigger. We put out the Marlin spread including our new short corner lure. It didnt take long and we got a crash bite on the short. The fish took off but only jumped once so we knew it would be pretty green on the leader. Our crew Laura got wraps on the leader but quickly had to dump the fish as it was a serious handful and we got some more jumps and a good show out of the fish. Quickly on the leader again and Laura had the fish under control. Once the fish was boatside on the last wrap the hook pulled, leaving the Marlin's eyeball still attached to the hook. Not the ideal release but a caught fish none the less and the whole crew had a great time.

We had a great group today from all walks of life. The weather was pretty glamour with a nice steady breeze and a bit of cloud cover. The day started great with a Blue marlin that had a go on the long rigger. When he came back, the crew backed of the drag and gave him a chance as the bite was half-hearted. We got him on, and after a fun little fight, we had the fish on the leader and boatside for a nice healthy release. Then we had a quick session at the fad, which resulted in a Mahi each for two of our anglers and a Wahoo for Glenn. We filleted up the fish for them on the way back so everyone went home with a nice dinner.

It was a father and son trip today for anglers Lance and Tye who joined Nambas on a half day fishing. The day could not have started better, after just 30 minutes of fishing we raised a small Blue Marlin on the lures, he didn't stick but we could already see birds in the distance and knew there was a good chance of a bite going off. It wasnt long before we were in the middle of bait balls turning the water white and within minutes we were hooked up on double and triple headers of smaller Yellowfin Tuna. The guys did a great job but it wasnt long before we got some real Yellowfin on. Both Father (Lance) and Son (Tye) realy worked on the 50lb stand up both landing their PB Yellowfins one with a 26KG fish and one with a 30KG fish. Then they kept coming. When the guys were too tired to fight Tunas anymore we put the Marlin Lures out to give them a breather...No Chance! In minutes we were hooked up and Tye was fighting his first Blue Marlin. He soon got the hang of the chair and fought hard to release a nice healthy 200lbs Blue Marlin. Not long after we released Tye's fish and put the lures back out we raised a nicer Blue Marlin which ate the long corner. The fish went airborne and it was clear to see that it was a bit bigger, around 350lbs. This time Lance took his turn in the chair and fought the fish to the boat for a nice clean release. It's safe to say that both Father and Son had a day to remember and will most likely need a day of rest tomorrow with a few beers to celebrate.
