The boys off Cooktown
Brandon Khoo:
Nathan - you sure it was the first triple hook-up for LPB? I'd be surprised as they're actually reasonably common - you just have to find a school of fish. In the past two years, I'd say I would have been part of a triple hook up at least three times.

LPB usually fish with no more than two customers. I think Nathan and his mates were the first customers on the Antares which caters for 4 anglers - so maybe he was LPB's first triple ;D
Brandon Khoo:
That's pretty typical for GT fishing though - hours with nothing and then it's on!
Have they left you running the shop? I think Duncan only has about another dozen trips planned in the next 12 months, doesn't he?! ;D

Can't wait till they get back. He forgot to pack his camera charger so I hope any big fish come in before the camera goes flat.

I hope the guys get to see a 'mobile bombie'.
These are a moving, mobile mass of GT's that typically move along the Ribbons during the marlin season.
I saw one in 2004 and there had to be 300 GT's in the school from 10-50kg....we had 2 quadrellas in that mahem....i t i s a w e s o m e!
If they see one of these it will make their lives, let alone the trip! :o

I've seen the breeding aggregations a couple of times before. It's quite an amazing sight!
