marlin.
Capt. Omie Tillett of the Jerry
Jr., reported a blue marlin strike
on Sunday. "The big fish was on
for a minute and then the 30
pound test line gave way and the
marlin was lost" said Tillett.
If the same pattern as former
years, 1856 for instance, is follow
ed, blue marlin, as we'll as sailfish
will be taken during October. Last
year on October A, Walter Wilkins
of Norfolk boated a 1856 FOUNDER
and the next day, on October 5,
his son, Bill Wilkins, brought in
one that weighed almost 300
pounds. They We're fishing from
