Cairns Black Marlin 40th Anniversary Tournament Begins

What a buzz of excitement around the Marlin Marina there was last night. "F" finger was FULL with all the big names in the Game Fishing world, boats and skippers. Of course Wild Turkey is there. It is great to see all these boats getting together and being part of this historical event.

A last minute dash to Tom's store - Cairns Tackle & Bait, saw the last of the supplies picked up before unloading enough to feed all for weeks I am thinking. But you forget with 7 men on the boat, how much they could actually be eating.

We are setting out early to see the Sail Pass, which will be pretty spectacular I imagine. Time to also bid them all Fair Well and Good Luck.

I am sure I will loose contact with them at some stage but hopefully should be able to keep you in on most of the action.

Greg and his crew are based out of Yorkeys on Shakara, so they had the long haul this morning - leaving at 5am and heading to Cairns to be part of the Sail Pass - so will keep you up dated on them as well.

GO TOM, STEVE, STEVEN & ROB ! ! GO WILD TURKEY ! !

Sail Pass was FANTASTIC ! They streamed out one after another all 60 odd boats - travelling all the way out through the leads. As they all powered up there was a wall of white water that covered the horizon. It was a beautiful sight to see.
