Awesome, just moved back to the bay, went for a throw at the anchorage thisavo and saw your boat, bright coloured name makes it stand out.
Beautiful.

Black watch 30s 😂. I used to fish off NJ USA in a 30 express and it ran great but not enough fuel. We had twin cummins 250s. And WET. Really wet. When you gotta run 100 miles offshore if you want to catch any kind of decent fish 250gal ain't even close. Unless you're in a 25ft boat 😂. We carried an 80 gal bladder bag and it still wasn't enough. Think about that. I see land in all your videos 😂. Over here I may not see land for 2 days. Nowadays I modified a 1967 16ft starcraft for charging giant bluefin tuna. I'm actually fueling as we speak. I lost about an 800lb last week after 4 hours and 7 miles off being towed 😂😆😂

Is the marlin fishing much better in pt Stephens than Sydney?

[@Maddfisher]

Sure is

[@jatberoz5972]

um yes. More Marlin are tagged in Port Stephend than anywhere else on earth

[@smithysfishing]

It is usually between the Sunshine Coast Gamefish Club and some of the WA clubs like Exmouth for Champion tagging club of Australia. Gold Coast got it couple of years ago, Weipa and their sailfish '19-20' but N&PS did win in '15-'16. etc.
