One week before the Tolgate tournament. What a miserable day to go out, pouring rain and sloppy sea conditions, not a good start.
Got out to 70 fathoms and we put ourt baits in the water, there were the seals and a few birds. A short time late the rigger pulled out of the peg and Marg was hooked up to her very first marlin. After 20 minutes of hard work Foxy was able to grab the leader, while Jeff placed a tag in the 80kilos striped marlin's shoulder.
We worked the area for the rest of the day, but the bait that had been there in the previous days had moved on. That was all the excitement for the day. Better luck next weekend.
