Bronze Whaler Shark Thanks Capt AJ
The biggest fish for the season so far at “The Bus Stop” Linden Bank
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Bundy & the boys boarded the boat with 11 cartons of beer and one poor guy with a suspected broken ankle from the night before! Was this going to be a fishing trip or booze cruise we thought!
Waking the boys up before lunch, bellowing from the bridge came Capt AJ’s ”nice fish” This got the boys to their feet, a huge swipe at the bait and after a great fight and some spectaular jumps a nice 650lb black marlin was released! The big girls have arrived and our first heavy tackle fish for the season and the biggest one for the fleet so far!!!
We also pulled the bait from another nice fish and raised 2 more.
The boys will be getting into those cartons tonight and well deserved!

We are looking forward to bringing you fishing updates, great pics and specials so keep watch on our blog for all the fishing action on board the Iona & Iona II for the Cairns Giant Black Marlin Season.
Both the Iona & Iona II are now in Cairns and the crew are pumped for the season and anxious to get out there amongst the big girls!
Both boats are close to being fully booked so if you have the opportunity to fish with us during the season get in quick!
We have unbeatable charter rates on offer contact us for more info. The boys had a cracka of a trip on board Iona II from the Gold Coast to Cairns with calm seas, magical weather and heaps of fish! The highlight of the trip was 2 black marlin caught off Innisfail, one for angler Al Wright and one for Robbie McCormack, both fish gave the boys some fun and they even brought one on board for a quick picture before being released.
A great start for the Cairns Giant Black Marlin Season for Capt Adam Jordan. Sunday saw us head off with the legendary Reg on board, should be a great trip with lots of laughs and hopefully some good fishing!
Keep tuned for our daily updates during the Cairns Giant Black Marlin Season and we look forward to your comments!
Tight lines!
