Easter Weekend brings the Season Total to 46!!

With a change of crew at Hohoura, Shiraz headed back to North Cape for the Easter weekend. The fishing continued in similar vein with pack attacks of stripies the order of the day. Over three days, 25 bites resulted in 7 tagged marlin and Ben and Shule got not just their first marlin ever, but 2 each! Shiraz is having an amazing season, this weekend bringing the grand total to 46 striped Marlin (51 gamefish) for the season. Long may it continue!

Marlin Madness

On a pre Easter trip north, Shiraz struck gold en route to the Three Kings Islands. After hearing the water around the Kings was not firing, Skipper Mike Wilson located the hot spot which resulted in Shiraz hauling in 17 Striped Marlin in just 4 days! All fish were tagged and released and estimated up to 150 kgs. Incredible stuff - an unforgettable trip!

8 Stripies and a Broadbill

Shiraz returned late March from another successful charter up at the Three Kings Islands. The fishing was great with good sized fish around. Shiraz tagged 8 striped marlin, congrats to Kyle and Mike for angling their first marlin. John MacDowell landed the elusive Broadbill he'd been chasing for years on the last night of the trip. A great trip, and some very happy anglers! More photos in the gallery.
