Billfish Challenge Townsville Tournament ~ Day 3

Weather is much nicer this morning with seas around 12 knots. It was a smooth run out to the fishing grounds on a steady 22 knots. Far nicer than it has been. There is a great chance that "Marlin Fever" might strick today! Fingers Crossed.

UPDATE as at 13.00:

• Sedative - Tagged first Marlin of the day
• Cleveland Steamer - First sailfish of the day

Weather has come down to about 5 knots and is looking great - but for Wild Turkey the fishing is a little hard at present. Fishing hasnt finished yet so there is still time yet.

14.52 - The SMS read: FINALLY! This is a great sign with the details to follow - I am taking this can only mean Marlin ! Yahoo ... Yes - but it was only a small one - never the less.

It was a productive day for most out there on Bowling Green with numbers being around the 50 odd - some very luck boats tagging 5 - 6 Marlin. I think that tomorrow is Wild Turkey's day.

Please excuse my lack of information from time to time - sometimes I dont quite get filled in on all the details.
