Light Bite Surprize

Just when we had pretty much given up on getting a light tackle bite this year the fish showed up on the Sunshine Coast. These fish were a mix of 30-80kg black marlin and 18-25kg sailfish.

Marlin: The Season’s Saving Grace

Robert Smith | January 11

The gamefish action continued right through October and into early November for Southeast Queensland anglers. The Mooloolaba sailfish kept going for the first three weeks of October and once they started to give out a run of blue marlin came in on the shelf. A week of strong northerlies followed by a week of strong southerlies put paid to further trips just as the current seemed to crank up and sweep them south.

Finally some billfish to report! However, the limited run of small black marlin in tropical North Queensland is a bit of a worry for South East Queensland anglers.
