08 Blue Marlin
Heavy Tackle Season!
             
 

South East Queensland offers some of the best marlin fishing action in the world.

It is one the few places where marlin and other game fish may be targeted throughout the year.

 
             
 

The Sunshine Coast Game Fishing Club has taken out the GFAA John O’Brien Trophy (highest point scoring tag and release club in Australia) in seasons 97/98, 98/99, 99/00, 00/01, 01/02, 03/04 and 06/07. 

During these years there were more billfish tagged and released off the Sunshine Coast than in any other port in Australia.

 
             
  Target species include: blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, sailfish, wahoo, tuna (yellowfin, northern bluefin, striped, kawa kawa), mahi mahi (aka dolphin fish) and cobia.

Fishing methods vary according to the time of the year we are fishing.  These include: trolling lures, dead baits and live baits, switch-baiting and saltwater fly.  
     
 

We use the finest fishing tackle including Shimano, Penn, Accurate and Precision custom rods.
