So far as we head up the coast to the Great Barrier Reef for our Cairns 2017 Giant black marlin season we have been pretty lucky.

The weather has been absolutely glamour and we have made great time. We should be in the Whitsundays by tomorrow afternoon.

Lots of whale sittings and we are marking a lot of bait on our new Furuno Package. Please check out their  page here and be sure to give them a like!

Along the way we had the heavy tackle gear out on the first day just outside of Faiser Island. During our blue marlin fishing session we were awarded with a beautiful 600lb blue that gave us a show on the leader!

We caught her on a tantrum lg tube in purple.

And this was only on day one! We ended that day 1-2 on blue and also raised a stripe.

Day two proved to be another day for marlin. This time we were lucky to get a very early (just out of bed) bite. We moved inshore a bit and had out our light tackle spin rods! This little guy as well put on a great show for us! We had out our Pakula Lures and as usual they produced!
