Gold Coast Report and Marlin Magnet
The mission was to get my cousin his first gamefish.  Three passes and nothing. I then flicked the Marlin Magnet switch on the next pass and all 6 of the rods loaded up with Sailfish with lots more sails in the pattern to spare. The whole pod of 30 or 40 sails had left the bait to nail the lures!!!

So at last, I can report that YES the MARLIN MAGNET DOES WORK!!!
Things went nuts with 6 sails on at once. I raced down and dropped 3 into freespool, hoping the hooks would fall out, which they did. I then heard Ata being told to keep his rod down, I then turned to see his rod tip bucking as the line was peeling off……. around the props !!!! Then there was 2 left, Bretts fish did a screaming run straight past the boat, followed by a pack of wahoo that once I got up in the bridge, realized many more were trailing behind the boat along with more sails. A wahoo nailed the bubble trail off the line on Bret’s fish. Then there was 1, we chased after and got Darron’s fish which was quite a good one of around 40kg. But in doing so went about a mile from the original spot.

Once released I went back to trolling speed, looked behind the boat to see that there were still Sailfish behind the boat even though there was bait still balled up on the sounder and flicking on the surface. First lure in was nailed and Ata got his 2nd Sail and by now he was getting to understand how the system worked, you know, the raise the rod, drop the rod and turn the handle on the reel bit!!

I then switched off the Marlin Magnet and no more shots for two hours. On the troll home we went over lots of bait schools, raised two that didn’t eat. After 2 hours I put the Magnet back on and got 2 Mahi Mahi on the next bait school. Having two Mahi mahi in the cockpit with two new guys was enough to end the day on a pretty good note!!!

Hey Stu,

I've been meaning to pm you for a week now. I was fishing up in Niue a couple of week's back and ran that pelagic lure I won at the M.S.F.C. Tuna Hunt. We caught wahoo, mahi mahi and one of the biggest barracuda they had seen taken on the island on it, and now it look's a little worse for wear with all the toothy bugger's that were chewing on it. It was only in the water for 30 sec before it was hit. The skipper was impressed with how well it worked. I'd be keen to get the colour insert's that you can change in them off you sometime so i can run it for tuna this comming summer.
