Capt. Ross McCubbin reports the arrival of the little blacks on the Gold Coast with his guest Ralph on Lucky Strike going1 from 3 – his first black marlin. Ross said they had 2 others stealing livies off the yakka jig and saw a few free jumpers.

It’s a great time of year to be fishing the Gold Coast and besides the blacks, the blues are still present and Ross tells me that Capt. Matty Johnson’s Gypsy also caught a stripe yesterday. And Matt Stehman’s Murphy Law also converted a blue for Adam which was his first blue that Matt put at about 120kg — so all together that’s a Gold Coast slam!
