Thank you all.
Especially for the guy's who post reports for our land-logged guys during hard times.
@ ROBYOSH - If thats your dream, forsure you will have your day. Indeed we are priviledged, and hope a mere report shows our apreciation.
@CLS - Thanks. Yes we were 5 up except for the day we caught the Marlin (that day we were 4 up). Before we went out to sea the first day, we decided on a pecking order on the rods. We gave each Guy tasks. When we got a strike, everyone knew what and where he should be. For the first three launches we had 60 x 2l frozen coke bottles in the floor hatches witch added another 120 Kg. Could honestly say we had fun and no one was cramping another one's space. Boat beached nicer with the added weight.
@Toppie - Definitely sooner
. Whould have loved just to be a spectator at the OET or Billfish15. Will be down there mid December again.
@Prego - Yea , more like 800 000 buck's. Ive got 4 strokes
. Nothing beats fresh Marlin, battered and deepfried the same night in camp.
@BigVan - Thank you Bigvan. I will post some pick's of the cona's soonest. The Purple/black worked at the 500 and the Blue/white a bit shallower. Oom Tokkie and some of the other regular guy's recommend the Blue/white as a good allrounder.
@Shagnrelease - Thank you Shagnrelease. I cant remember exactly what make they were. I like the centro's, and on recommendation will stick to them. The fridgeds were Pulsator, and we noticed that the split rings were silver-soldered to keep them from pulling. Thanx for the copper-wire tip. Will definitely have them on next time around.
@Bwana - Thanx Bwana!! It was a great adventure! I think none of us returned as the same guy that left.
@Fishaholic - Thanx Fishaholic! Shagnrelease did a post on it somewhere on the forum, just can't remember where at the moment. It is a piece of leader-line with 2 eyes that is hooked in parallel with the fridged-bird. Should the fridged fail, the back-up line will still hold the fish/cona.
