i know they caught quite a few that season. Haven't heard anything about it since then..Here's part of the email that Jarad ( Dingo) Boshammer sent me w/ the pics...

'I enjoyed a couple months at home pioneering a flats fishery for black marlin on fly 6-8ft of water, total sight fishing ten weight rods. I also got to fish the impoundments for barra my largest was 50#.'

...and a picture of the mentioned 50# barramundi

That's incredible, I have never heard of catching marlin in this fashion. I would love to try it.

If you here anymore about it please let me know. I'm there.

15 feet to go....

black marlin are hams for the camera....by the way...Dingo is an absolute TIGER...no fish are safe from this guy, technically speaking, he is one of the best all around fishermen I've ever met..just my opinion..
