20 boats competed in the Mooloolaba Game Fishing Club’s annual Billfish Bonanza over the Anzac weekend and there were plenty of fish to go around. Overall the stats were 11 billfish tags (4 blue marlin, 4 black marlin, 1 striped marlin and 2 sailfish) as well as other gamefish.

The Douglass family’s Luna took out a convincing win with a blue and a black on Day 1, and a light tackle black on Day 2.  The team was Wayne, Sue, Lauren and Nathan Douglass and Conor Lynch.
