Autumn is the time for big Blue Marlin and Yellowfin tuna off Sydney. Though it has been a little quiet offshore the last few days it is not the end of one of the best Game Fishing seasons I have experienced. This year we saw great numbers of Blue Marlin though not the real big … Continue reading Ambition report 5th.April’18 → The post Ambition re...

An interesting day out yesterday. After the frustration of having to come home early on Sunday when there was a pretty good bite going on with Blue Marlin and Yellowfin on the menu I was keen to get amongst the action.As soon as we left the Heads it was plain to see something had changed … Continue reading Ambition report 28th.March’18 → The post...

The good news is that Marlin are still here Blues and Stripes mostly and amongst them a run of Sydney Yellowfin Tuna. This run of Tuna was a regular occurrence in the past and was the reason the Sydney Game Fishing Club’s ‘Summer point score’ season was extended from mid-April to May. One can … Continue reading Ambition report 25th. March’18 → T...

At present there is a  Port Stephens Marlin frenzy going on.         The inshore fishing for the small Blacks hasn’t really taken off being more of a day to day proposition. However it’s more than made up for by the good numbers of larger Marlin further out. At the well known ‘Car … Continue reading Ambition report 26th. February’17 → The post Amb...

I have just come back from three days at Port Stephens Game Fishing. No two days were the same and each presented its own challenges. However with perseverance the rewards were there too. On Friday I took Matty and his friends out on what was a less than comfortable day. … Continue reading Ambition report 12th. February’18 → The post Amb...

Port Stephens firing is every Game Fishers dream and it fired last week-end. The weather however didn’t play ball. On the shelf where a lot of the action was taking place it was far less than comfortable. On Saturday I took Daniel and a couple of his friends from Wollongong out. We didn’t bother … Continue reading Ambition report 5th. February’1...

Over the last three days the Port Stephens Marlin have been almost like the days of past when the ‘Car Park’ fired. Bait is building up on the shelf and the run of Blacks seems to have started up on the inshore reefs. To add further interest there is a good run of Blues … Continue reading Ambition report 29th.

Port Stephens 2018 I left Sydney early on Saturday morning with Lindon. Rhys Michael and Frank in perfect conditions to chase the Port Stephens Marlin. No wind no sea and nothing untoward expected weatherwise. I cruised out to an area just short of the Norah Canyons where we put the lures out and proceeded to … Continue reading Ambition report 22n...

Black Marlin were the name of the game last week. They certainly went off with a bang when several boats managed to intercept a run of  the Blacks on the Northern reefs.   The Black Marlin turned up last week and amongst the smaller fish were some in the 90 kg. range. Those who fished … Continue reading Ambition report 14th. January’18 → The post...

Saturday The Saturday was very quiet a few Striped Marlin tagged and as … Continue reading Ambi...
