Aaron Concord:
Hi guys,

For those wanting to tackle little black marlin on surface lures (such as stick baits..for 'stick faced marlin') nows the time to be ready in South East Queensland.
The area of Hervey Bay has been inundated BIG time over the last month and there is a smattering starting off the ares of Mooloolaba to the Gold Coast as they head south on their annual migration.

just thought I'd share the news since they really dig stick baits in particular....be coooool on 80-120gm lures and PE2-4 gear.

Aaron.

Greg Burt:
The Mooloolaba 'Billfish Bash' is on this weekend Aaron [bring back memories], only mono 8kg comp but I have rigged up some 60-100 grm Ulua's, Wahoo's and Baby Runbohs, I'll troll a couple in the spread.
A Billy on a stickbait!! that is Woody material

Aaron Concord:
Bun,
Ahhh the Billfish Bash...lotsa sails...lotsa Rum...lotsa good times  :)

The billies I have taken on sticks have all been on the troll, though with such great numbers around either switch baiting and casting a stick at them or casting around their favourite baitfish grounds will work for sure.

Glad to hear you are giving it a go  ;D

Go the 'Woody'!

Cheers
Aaron.

Nathan Cefai:

Santosh Shanmuga:
Sounds like a fun trip. Black marlin sure are pretty when they light up.
