grantarctic1 Never caught one Neels, but off the stones around Esperance ive seen some schools swim in and out of our burrly trail. Great looking fish in the water, I would like to hook one even on a spin stick, to get one on fly would be awsome, they look like very fast fish . Paul Cunningham I nailed a monster out at NW reef of Exmouth a few years ago. We were working around birds and had them chase down a clouser at full pace. It pulled the scales down to 8kg which is a bit bigger than the usual suspects. I will see if I can find a photo and chuck it up. crasny1 a fairly uncommon catch, and probably not targetable. If they are there, go for it, if not, well go for something else. Paul that one off yours is "massive" compared to the 2 I have caught years ago off the Murion Islands trolling on a charter. They were immediately rigged by the deckies as "Marlin Lollies" but no joy on that front. The 2 I had was half that size mate, and I had a fight on a trolling broom stick, ie poor buggers didnt stand a chance. Would love to hook one light, then dance the merry dance, whether spin or fly. I think not, but they are very seriola looking. Are they family off Sambo's, Ambo's and YTK's?? Help Glenn or other knowledgables. I have to start work so to lazy googling!!!! soupster51 I wouldn't say I've caught them regularly but I caught a few. The things I've learnt: They seem to like structure either reef, FADs, log, etc. They school up in massive numbers so if you get one as by-catch and you want more they are generally there for the taking if you want them. Most effective lure for me is the small fly-like skirted lures that we use for smaller tuna species.
