BACK ON THE ROPE - Fishing Charter, Coral Bay, Western Australia, Goldband Snapper, Black Marlin.

Still in our charter season, school holidays sees plenty of younger crew on the boat. The first time deep sea fishing for many but they still do well. Trying to get Brock behind the wheel a bit more so I'm back on the rope. We pick up what I assumed was a sailfish on the way in but turned out to be a little Black Marlin. We don't recommend puling these fish out of the water and was not setting the best example by doing it. As it does dramatically increase their mortality rate. But nobody's perfect and I wanted to give the kids and opportunity for snap to remember the experience.

Would love to do this with you guys one day . But that is a long ride to get there from .
You have your system, but this might make it easier for you. Over here on these kind of charters we use a few big ice boxes like the ones you use for your commercial video depending on how many ppl on board 1 would doo probably for you and each spot is assigned and string and number that way everyone goes home with exact fish they caught and bit easier for the deackhands to track them .

[@SeaforceCoralBay]

Yeh we mark every fish just on the tail/head/fins so customers still go home with the exact fish they caught. Have tried all the systems over the years and found this the best. No stuffing around with ropes or cable ties, just a quick cut and in the esky. We have to record all the fish at the end of the day for fisheries records so pretty easy to sort when we doing that.

What brand of filleting knife do you roll with? They cop a flogging and seem to cope pretty well with it.

[@Brody-e5l]

Do you still tag the under sized reds. Like you used to???

[@SeaforceCoralBay]

Yeh definitely still do, but not all of them. It takes a few minutes to record everything so we sometimes leave it with busy full boats.
