The Drought is Over!!

Well the marlin draught anyway! Yesterday Brian Mac tagged and released a striped marlin estimated at around 90 kg.
Well done Brian and the crew!
The first day of the one base (Sunday) was really rough, so the boys stayed on land. A wise choice, as those going out got well and truly battered!
Monday was a great day, with flat seas and plenty of marlin caught, lots of action.
Today is the last day of the tournament, so will wait and see what eventuates!

Houhora One Base

Brian set off from Whitianga on Wednesday night. He stayed at Great Barrier overnight, then headed to Monganui early Thursday morning. Brian MacCormack took the ute and trailer up by road. They are staying at Pukenue Lodge. Northland is a great place to go, and Brian has enjoyed the One Base up there.
This is the first time he's taken our boat, and the normal Whitianga one base crew is going as well - Stephen Toner, Michael Waite and Brian McCormack. Let's hope the can hook a few marlin - we still haven't hooked one yet!!!!
