The end of cyclone season and the start of the tradewinds looks like it's here. As the water cools, we start to see more variety of fish. We have had a nice selection of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and Blue Marlin. All the anglers did a great job with some first time anglers setting some good PBs and ticking off bucket list fish.

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.

It was only a quick half day trip today for anglers Craig & Cheryl from Australia. What started out as quite slow ended in our angler Cheryl catching her bucket list Blue Marlin. The fish smashed the short corner lure but missed the hook up, having got the lure back into position the fish came back for another go and this time it was on! After a 30 minute fight and a quick initiation to Marlin fishing Cheryl did a great job, getting this one to our crew Alex on the leader so it could have the hooks removed and released to fight another day. About an hour later we raised another 2 smaller fish that ran riot through the spread but didn't want to hook up.
