Epic CAIRNS MARLIN SEASON photo montage performance shirts featuring some of the big name boats who fish this wonderful fishery hooked for the “Late Bite” on Number 10 Ribbon Reef as the sun sets beside Lizard Island.

This is a one of a kind shirt showcasing our fabulous fishery made by photo composite of my photos of the professional marlin fleet. Limited run only.

This is a limited run. Get your order in now.

The design (click to enlarge):

The fleet on hot fishing on Number 10 Ribbon Reef with the sun setting over Lizard Island in the background is the inspiration for this shirt which is called “Late Bite”.

A couple of things to note:

1. Images are mockups only and while they are a very good representation of how the shirts will look, word placement and size and colour may vary slightly on the actual shirt and according to the size of shirt! See placement drawings for exact placement.
2. Shirts will be shipped mid-September (they will be printed after order). Pickup available for crew members in Cairns in mid-late September also.
