Trip Summary

We started the week with 2 marlins o 2 consecutive days. Then 3 days of silence.. no fish at all. Today we decided to go far in the south. To the Flinders bank at about 12 nautical miles from the coast. After we went in a school of fish we had a strike on the long rigger line...then the fish hit the short rigger line twice but the hook did not get that marlin. We then continued our way and hook a 30 pounds wahoo on the shot gun lure. We caught it after a good fight. We put the lure back and few seconds later again same lure... It was a wahoo. We saw some ropes floating at the surface. We put a rappala at the back and caught another wahoo. We then continued our way south west....and about 20 mins later bang ...big strike on the short corner line. In a fraction of seconds about 500 meters of line was out... Other lines were reel quickly in and the rod transferred to the fighting chair. The fight last for an hour. We tried to put the fish in the boat but was too heavy. We put it on the side and continued fishing on the way back to the lagoon.
