Unlucky Friday the 13th. Only unlucky thing are the poor buggers working in this great weather. Clear blue skies, great clean, warm sea that just screams FISH! I am at work but preparing for a good weekend of spearfishing.
Just recently, a good Blue and Black Marlin have been tagged and released off Coffs, with reports of some small Black Marlin being seen from the Southern harbour breakwater. A little S of our normal hunting grounds, fishermen have had a field day with Spotted Mackerel (very similar to Natal Snoek) and Spanish. The first big mackerel that I have heard of, this season, has been taken, a fish of 28kg. What an awesome fish and I can easily imagine getting a fish like that on spear. Having said that, I am looking at the photo of a 40kg Spanish taken by Michael several years ago. The head is in his freezer at home and looks quite formidable. There have also been some very good Snapper weighed recently but when it comes to hunting these, you really need a long breath and a great deal of patience or just some real good luck.
