Winning strategies for blue granders Part 1 – Preparing for battle
If you want to take on a blue marlin of more than 1000 pounds, who better to prepare you for battle than the skipper that has probably caught more grander marlin than anyone else in the world. Capt Peter Bristow will show you how to catch yours.
The explosive world of Hoodlums on top-water lures
Techniques to reliably catch some of the world’s largest yellowtail kingfish on cast surface-lures is a phenomenon only recently enabled by significant advances in tackle and lure design. Mark Armistead is at the cutting-edge of developments and in this feature he details what is working and how you can get among this explosive action.
Rowley shoals at last! This revered West Australian sailfish hotspot is now more accessible than ever before, and surprises Tim Simpson with its other large billfish on offer.
Delightfully light: Australia’s southern waters have produced a startling run of bluefin over recent years. Chris Baty discovers the joy of fishing for them with light tackle.
king of the underworld: Amberjack: Dr Julian Pepperell profiles the largest member of the Seriola clan, a respected thug and a tough adversary on any tackle.
technically speaking: The Compleat Deckie
To be successful in the cockpit of an active gameboat, you need the right tools and the accessories that work.

It might seem out of place on a vast blue ocean, but this amazing fish actually travels the globe by riding the currents.
lure lore: Q: To dolphinfish or not to dolphinfish?
Jim Rizzuto discusses the very good reasons why marlin may rarely eat dolphinfish – but would they want to?

The 12-inch Cabo may be the smallest of Hollowpoint’s DV8 range, but it packs a deadly punch with a wicked action.
BOATS AND MORE
the illusionist: Luhrs 35 Convertible
At first glance, the exterior of Luhrs’ very spacious 35-footer may seem a little retro. But as Warren Steptoe discovered, its functionality and build-quality delivers a very practical sea boat that together with its twin Volvo IPS drives is surprisingly economical.
still ahead of the game: Seafarer Voyager
Warren Steptoe revisits this much-loved trailerboat, now made even better with new generation 4-stroke outboards.
speed and economy: Powercat 2900 Sports Fisherman
This twin-hulled Powercat carves a smooth ride at speed, while delivering outstanding fuel economy.
