Glider, if yours weighted 18Kg, how much do you think mine weights? I didn't have a scale with me and the one in the pic wasn´t even the biggest I caught. I think I may have to change my record...

Well done Tre, Sometimes we forget the quality of the pictures in a fishing trip, but in the end that's really what we will keep and that will make us remember the trip.

A few of my pals snuck of to Inhaca this past week, weather was not great but the lads persisted and focussed on marlin. Report backs said they were spooled by 2 marlin, boated a saile and dorado, and a bunch of hoo again. See attached pic, 32kg Hoo taken on marlin lure this past weekend at Inhaca. Had all lures go off at once, 4 bitten off. Attachment: DSC01583.JPG (Downloaded 612 times)

Hey Greg, Expensive indeed, add those 2 numbers you listed together to get closer to price per lure (black bart / pakulas etc) Am making some Hoo traces as per the article you kindly posted and planning a trip to Inhaca for round number two (hoo) to target them specifically Cheers, Peter Last edited on Mon Nov 2nd, 2009 12:53 pm by On Strike |

Guys what is your take on rigging steel with the intension of actually catching Marlin? Either running steel for say 8' or even just 1'. Would you get less strikes? Any thoughts? I always belived Marlin were less line shy. Last edited on Mon Nov 2nd, 2009 02:13 pm by benniejordaan |

On Strike: pity them hoo weren't there at the Closed. If Nauti Boy had caught that hoo then, well it could have been a very different story...

Hi Ian, Ja you are right ... Nauti Boy and Mitchell just seem to pull wahoos more often than not ... remember those machines they weighed at last years closed!

Hi Shaggie I made a couple of wahoo traces and baits ready. I am off to Ponta next week. I know where I caught wahoo previously so this time will the speed just be much higher. I could get 1 Kg lead weights in a cigar shape which a mate of mine casted for me. So check it out I am going to run the sea flat next week. I will phone you if it works well. Cheers

Who made the trolling leads for you bud? Love to get at least a few and can then make a mould. Other option: ask Bennie to help me make a dummy and then make a mould
