Paul says they also picked up a couple of nice spaniards and 2 bait sized tuna for the big girls.Īnd I heard from John Mcconkey who notched up his first black on Maximus last week at Myrmidon Reef off Townsville. They went 2 from 2 both black marlin and both similar sizes around 60lb. Showing that the Light Tackle season isn’t over yet, the Poulter family – just Sharon and Paul again two up – fished light tackle wide of Fitzroy on Think Big, their last light tackle hit out before heading up to the Rock this week for the tournament. Tim Richardson on Tradition released another for Lydie which must make 7 for the week so far? Way to go Tim, Lydie and team!
Angler Drew has fished many other destinations trying to catch a marlin so was stoked to get his first on his first visit to the reef. Brett says that unfortunately the one they lost was a big one and it had a number of smaller male fish swimming with it. Brett Goetze on the new Reel Chase says that they caught 1 from 2 also on Number 10. While it was a quieter day down on the southern edge of the reef again, other boats reporting fish were also up the top. Sam Muscat, who is back on deck for Bobby this year, tells me that Phil released two big fish yesterday, the first that Bobby put at 600lbs, the second at a whopping 1100lbs! This follows up from Phil’s 400lb-er a few days ago, and fresh from the fight on another big fish the day before which was unfortunately lost when another fish swam through the line. Bobby Jones on Iceman, fishing his 30th Cairns season no less, had an awesome day on the water yesterday with his guest Phil Salmon from Seattle at Number 10 Ribbon Reef. Lizard Island Watersports Ross Penegar sent me this pic of the set up and assures me he has first hand knowledge that its working (had perfect opportunity to put it into use with loss of engines by one of the boats yesterday!) Go the 2013 Lizard Island Tournament! Peter Teakle for his support of the repeater and the Lizard Island club, and to Daniel McCarthy for his assistance and the Island resort as well. Lizard Island GFC President Bob Lowe is very happy to announce that the repeater is now installed and functioning from Lizard Island and operating on channel 82 for your use. But before we get started an announcement for the marlin fleet skippers. Its a big report today – some awesome Cairns fishing as well as four tournament results.
