Re: NT Billfish Log
Thanks for the info Nogood, this is a good example of the intent of this thread. Yeah ok, it's a pretty safe bet that there were going to be fish hanging around the long lost marks but having confirmation of this is a great confidence booster for those starting out for the season.
Sounds like Switch baiting will be the go at the moment then if the Mackies are thick as well.
Cheers,
John.

Re: NT Billfish Log
Haven't been doing to bad over this way, over the last 4-5weeks we've managed to get out at least once a week and have seen a fish each trip, with a 85% catch rate.
Have heard a few reports of marlin up to 130kg and as low as 3kg. As well as doubles of sailfish. Although our season may be coming to an end soon, i hope to get out another couple times before the end and finally get my first marlin

Kp,
Blacks show a distinct preference for swimbaits versus skipbaits if this helps your cause at all. Good luck!
