We made it out in the weather – even so, we did indulge in a 3 hour lunch break!Persistance in the afternoon with team B paid off with a missed bite from a Striped Marlin and then tagging a small Black Marlin for Greg which again gave us an aerial display at the back of the boat. All the action happened within 500 metres of Little Island, right in front of Port Stephens Heads.Captain Jim thinks that with the large amount of bait in front of the Heads and North of Broughton Island and the beautiful blue 24 degree water, the fishing should finally break loose in this area over the next couple of weeks.
