2010 Season Underway

Our 2010 season began on the 24th Jan with a two day trip to the Poor Knights trench and was successful on both days with a striped Marlin caught each day. We tagged and released a first Marlin for John Donald of Whanganui. The next day we weighed a first stripy for John's 13 year old son William Donald. Father and son both very pleased.

To cap off the story John's father - JB Donald, came out on Shiraz a fortnight later and landed his first stripy ever, north of Whangaroa. Not bad going - 3 generations landing their first fish within a fortnight, especially so considering JB turns 88 tomorrow!

The team is now looking forward to the first trip to the Kings for the nationals starting this weekend.
