Keep your diaries open for  30 October 2010. Captain Peter B Wright, a very well known marlin skipper is coming to SA. He will present a workshop on Marlin fishing and techniques. He has the world record for granders (more than 100), and are the only person to have caught blue and black granders in all the oceans. Don,t miss this one.

Hi Handro
I would have loved to be there but we will be fishing that weekend. Please make a video or dvd of the presentation. I know the Dolfie team had Brad Kidd and other marlin gurus out last year and there dvd sales had paid for all expenses. I am sure most marlin fisherman would love to get their hands on the info.

JS, Sorry about the slow response - been in a holding pattern for the last week. Mum in law died an hour ago. Huge family trauma at the moment!!!

Johan at Fishing Pro Shop has the full set of needles (ours arrive in 6 weeks or so) or if you need them urgently Craig Neil has stock.

Hollowcore braid is the new additive........ even for the Marlin guys!!!!! Popping brigade going bizonkers for 130lb on Stellas etc.

Respects - RB
