    Wrightsville blue marlin

    My brother and I left the dock at 615 on our way WR4 about half way there I turned to my brother and said lets go to break,he said ok and are we glad we did.Cruised out to the nipple and put out spread.5 minutes after lines in a sail shows up in spread had him on but hook pulled.The next 3 hours was a steady pick at gaffers and a wahoo.Stayed in same area all day 170 to 220 feet of water.At 1245 a tenth of a mile from where we saw the sail,a blue one crashed the short rigger then proceeded to put on a show jumping several times.45 minutes later we had him beside the boat probably around 275#.What a day!Wrightsville blue marlin-blue-one-005.jpg

    Nice REport. What area do you refer to as the nipple? I know where WR_4 is.

    Well done guys. Very cool when you change the game plan and it pays off big time...
