30th June Black Marlin and who is going to tag the first billfish of the 2014/15 season?
Well it is 30th of June and officially the coldest day so far this year. Well done to Misty with 2 tags on Friday and Jim Bob with 2 on Saturday. In the race to the finish line Catapult fished the last day of the season and I can say the last billfish of the season trophy has been won. The big question will be if a 1st of July billfish will win the first of...

Sam William’s comments on Deano & Darrens recapture

That’s a good recapture to show that Mooloolaba is an important ground for the juvenile blacks when they are not moving south. It’s a funny question why some fish don’t move south, but others do. What we see is that strong years in the northern and southeast...
Busy week & Club Marine Rally Weekend

After a great general meeting on Tuesday night the race to the finish line between Misty, Catapult and Reel Capture went up a gear through to the weekend until the weather interfered.
