Hillside - thanks. I felt that the fishing yesterday became difficult with the shift in the wind with the north east wind pushing in cold water along with cold air. I ran the spread the pretty the same. I think we should have turned west instead of east with the ne wind pushing the warm water against the other side toward the Braddock bay.

It's our second day fishing in 2017 and we did better today than yesterday after getting skunked on our first outing. Nice green water are found along the shoreline between. Irondequoit bay and Hedges. Temps ranged from 44-46 degrees. Fished from 8 to 20 fow. Classic spring planer board set up includes 6 rods Spread with stick baits and flutter lures on each riggers. The vintage finish lure - F-11 Rapala Goldfish took this beast. My buddy nailed this big brown that's a little over 15# which was caught very close to the Webster Park. Pier heads could hear us shouting out with joy over this large trout. We did another Brown and Steele. It was a great day out there. Everything ran good on the boat. Have a safe and happy fishing season. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Black Marlin Fishing, Cairns, Australia In a nutshell, this is a trip of a lifetime for all fishermen as Australia is home to one of the best of Black Marlin fishing on the planet. Last October, I went with five guys for two weeks of fishing for the black marlin along the Great Barrier Reef between Cairns and Lizard Island. The GBR is about 1,300 miles long. We stayed on a live board ship, Beluga http://www.beluga-x.com.au/ and fished on one of the two charters boats with captains Corey Hard http://www.hardcoregamefishing.com.au/ & Sharky Miles http://www.marlin4miles.com.au/ In a period of two weeks, we have caught and released 28 black marlins which comes to an average of one marlin per day per boat! The biggest was about 900 lbs. I was lucky to fight a fish with 750 lbs of meat. The holy grail for marlin fisherman is landing a 1,000 lbs plus black marlin. The blokes called a one thousand lbs plus fish a "Grander". One of my buddies have caught six granders over 15 years of fishing among the group. These boys have fished the same waters for a very long time as I was very fortunate to join them. They do everything different down there. Fishing for live baits in the morning and troll for the marlins after 12 pm. Unlike in our lake, the early morning bites does not apply to Australian at all. Trolling for the black marlins begin after 12 pm and ends at six pm. Some days, one boat did not catch fish while the other landed multiple bites. Word to wise, if you are going to travel on a non stop trip for 14 hours from LAX to Sydney with connecting flight for 4 hours to Cairns, it is good idea to spend at least a week of chartering on a boat with your best friends. I will post pictures in the fishing pictures section. Please feel free to send me pm for tips in case you make the long journey to the land of the down under.

Hey Chris, not to worry as I have always said to you that family comes first every time. Look forward to fishing with you next weekend! Thanks to LOU, I am all set with finding a new fishing buddy to fish with during the week. Tight lines everyone! Safe fishing!

I'm looking for a reliable derby partner to fish with me off irondequoit bay. I hope to fill in the slots everyday from now to end of Labor Day. Please send me PM. Good luck to all. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Congratulations! You got to treasure this memory of the catch of a lifetime@ Tight lines.

Back to your post with quick update. With stronger southwest wind than expected, we headed out to the East of Ibay - we did two fish this morning with 14 lbs king and a skipper. King took NK carmel dophin spoon with gold plated off rigger 90' down off 225 FOW. We did not find any bait after marking fish in 120 to 130 FOW. Screen was mostly blank everywhere until we hit a pod of kings in 225 fow. It was a lucky find when we came across them once however they disappeared from the screen afterwards. Tight lines.

Will give it a shot tomorrow and update with the results. Thanks for the early lead with depth. Tight lines. Anthony

Thumbs up to YT and crew! Great photo!
