Great report Andrew and big ups for the broady and marlin, terrific trip!
I was with Coxy in March and we too had a goodie but without the billfish. Coxy is right, next time take a lighter PE4/5 outfit, you will last a lot longer at the rail. Just tell Lance its a 100lb outfit
Bring it out when you get tired but never if there are big fish about (above 30KG).
If you are keen to repeat the trip, rebook ASAP because it is almost impossible to get back into the loop once you are out. Most groups rebook immediately for the following year.
What did you guys do with the billfish?
