25.01.2022 This one from yesterday shows a bit of how sporty it was, particularly in the mornings! Juvenile black marlin, light tackle at Fraser Island QLD with Damian, James and Parker from Sydney, the boys notching up a couple of great number days! #blackmarlin #stripedmarlin #bluemarlin #billfish #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia #fishingfrasercoast #thisisqueensland #greatfishingadventures #visitfrasercoast #visitfraserisland #seeaustralia

24.01.2022 One of our little blacks today on KEKOA with James, Damian and Parker from Sydney! I couldn’t wait to see the photo of this little guy as he was so purple in reality. Its blowing the proverbial here right now but thankful for a little protection from #fraserisland and that the little blacks are still biting!... #blackmarlin #stripedmarlin #bluemarlin #billfish #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia #fishingfrasercoast #thisisqueensland #greatfishingadventures #visitfrasercoast #visitfraserisland #seeaustralia @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle @ Fraser Island Q.L.D

22.01.2022 Fraser sunrises! Too clear to get the real burst of colour but what a beautiful calm water anchorage! #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #kekoa56 #fishingfrasercoast #thisisqueensland #greatfishingadventures #visitfrasercoast #visitfraserisland #seeaustralia

22.01.2022 More reasons to fish with us here at Fraser when the restrictions are lifted, which we hope is very soon! The juvies are still here and waiting. And the blues will be too! #frasercoastfishing #sandystraights #blackmarlin #billfish #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia

21.01.2022 Light tackle black marlin and deep dropping for pearlies and snapper today on KEKOA with owner Scotty who has finally escaped the Tasmanian winter for some sunshine and blue water! Great to have you back up here Scotty! #blackmarlin #stripedmarlin #bluemarlin #billfish #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia #fishingfrasercoast #thisisqueensland #greatfishingadventures #visitfrasercoast #visitfraserisland #seeaustralia @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle @ Fraser Island

20.01.2022 Recapture! Do these fish stay in the area? Yep sure do! This one from was caught and tagged 3 weeks ago before being recaptured yesterday by Parker with us and has grown about 2kg in that time, in big feed mode. Another great day today out there today. We are running in now so will download photos tomorrow and have plenty to share in coming days.... The swell also came up today and so we're going to give the weather a few days to settle before hitting the heavy side this weekend! #blackmarlin #stripedmarlin #bluemarlin #billfish #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia #fishingfrasercoast #thisisqueensland #greatfishingadventures #visitfrasercoast #visitfraserisland #seeaustralia @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle

17.01.2022 2 last fish to 450lbs today! The sun has now set on KEKOA’s 2020 Cairns giant black marlin season. Very happy to end on a high, the way we started one of the most consistent seasons in our opinion, albeit shorter than normal, of recent years! It has certainly been a year of trials and we are very happy to be able to have put this Covid affected season together and sincerely thank each and every one of the wonderful clients who fished with us this year, many of whom have never... done this type of fishing before, and are happily now marlin tragics like us Covid had one more 2020 whammy in store for us with the cancellation of our final week due to the Adelaide outbreak, which is a shame because the fish are still biting and these guys were very much looking forward to fishing. But bring on 2021 and getting back to normal. We look forward to seeing everyone on the reef again then! So many more photos and a recap report to come! Team 2020 KEKOA Luke, Kelly, Heath and Jimmy! #cairns #marlinseason #blackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle

16.01.2022 Cairns blue marlin Cairns isn’t really known for its blue marlin fishery but it can be very good at times. We regularly catch blues trolling lures off the edge during the season. This is one from early November wide of Linden Bank. To be perfectly honest we would have expected more blue marlin action than we got but I guess we have the whole of the rest of the year at Fraser Island to target the line burners!! #cairns #marlinseason #blackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarin...e #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle @ Cairns, Queensland, Australia See more

13.01.2022 Dreamwork! Quick little clip for our second last week of the Cairns giant black marlin season. #cairns #marlinseason #blackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle

12.01.2022 Cairns giant black marlin season, 2020. This was our second day on the reef with a brand new team and the reef delivered us this big girl! One in a double header with the smaller fish already successfully released by this stage. Solid effort by Jeff in some rough conditions though the video doesn’t show it off. Very lucky the fish stayed up high the entire fight. Cairns marlin season 2020 on board KEKOA with Capt. Luke Fallon.... #blackmarlin #marlinseason #cairns #giantblackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle

11.01.2022 One more yesterday to make 6 for the trip to 900lbs. Plenty of little fellas around but happy to have found a big girl among them. Thanks to the Scotts for their wonderful company again. Queenslanders who have been fishing the reef now for about 20 odd years #queenslander #whatagame We are mother shipping this week on the beautiful Beluga. Stay tuned!

10.01.2022 So light tackle has been really good again this year at Fraser! Kelly & Luke fished Thursday/Friday for 23 and 9 releases respectively!!! And by the way, have you met Fred? He's our Marlin-X, LLC decoy. He works a treat! We were far too busy on the 23 day to get him out, but he raised 11 for us the next day when the water had rolled over. He sure draws attention on the teaser!... We still have dates available. Come and fish with us and meet Fred!! (Bart knows Fred well! )

10.01.2022 Ocean swell? No problem. Hit the dam instead! Another reason to visit and fish the Fraser Coast! #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #fishingfrasercoast #thisisqueensland #greatfishingadventures #visitfrasercoast #lakemonduran

10.01.2022 Crewman Finlay Patalano took this shot of KEKOA in action from nearby on Black Ops our last week in Cairns. Still got it KEKOA!

10.01.2022 It's all about perspective! A fish Luke put at about 500lbs from our last trip taken with thanks by Christie Lee from nearby on Zulu. The sea was angry that day my friends!... #cairns #marlinseason #blackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle

04.01.2022 2 from 2 on blues this morning for Bree and Ryan on KEKOA and raised a few more that didn’t bite. Good couple of days out with the Thomsen family #teamgarmin Plenty of blues about too and it was good to convert a couple after what will now be known as Rubber Hooks Saturday! #marlinseason #bluemarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia... . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestylr See more

04.01.2022 The neon is real! Check out this fella from yesterday with his lit up ‘underbelly’ before lift off. 1 for 1 for Glen who is back on KEKOA after a year off in 2019. As Glen says, its great to be back! #cairns #marlinseason #blackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia... . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle See more

03.01.2022 Marlin fishing is always surprising! Check out this guy. Notice anything unusual? For example where the hook is while he’s being leadered? I have pics of him jumping in the fight. Hook is there left corner of the jaw. Outside in. Somewhere along the lines it pulled and he stayed connected via a loop in the butchers twine. He dogged in there under the boat on the leader too (notice the antifoul rub line) but still stayed connected. Thank you mate! Quick snip of the butchers tw...ine and he was on his way! #cairns #marlinseason #blackmarlin #australianmarlin #garminmarine #garminau #pelagic #pelagicgear #pelagicproteam #kekoa56 #tackletactics #okumamakaira #getluredaustralia . @pelagicgear @pelagicworldwide #celebratetheoffshorelifestyle @ Cairns, Queensland, Australia

03.01.2022 The Cairns giant black marlin season doco is finally here!! Luke and Kelly give you a quick intro to the video (you should have seen the outtakes lol ) - hope you enjoy! Link in the comments below. Launches at 7pm Australian EST!!

02.01.2022 A catch up shot of Anna's big fish at the end of October. She did so good in the chair! #bigfishphotos And little story from me (Kelly) below to go with: --- Fried rice bite!!... (explained below) --- This is the fish with the big head. We always say that the big fish have small heads. This one was (is!) super long and super skinny. Still a big one, but filled out would have been a wooooaaahhh fish I think!!! Big fish and calm days are the best ever combo for photos. When this fish bit, I was in the tower with Luke. We often eat lunch together. We were eating Kelly’s special fried rice with battered fish and prawn toppers (yum if I do say so myself). We saw the bite and I was off scrambling downstairs with a mouthful of rice. Big one!! Luke says where are you going? We haven’t even hooked it yet?. Kelly = I don’t care, I need to be down there!!! We hooked it. I hot tailed it down two flights to the deck to wind in the third rod and then headed back to the bridge where I keep my camera gear, to take photos. I switched cameras and came downstairs from the bridge once the peg mark was on the reel which is my habit. Sometimes it’s a rush because depending on the bait, the peg mark on the shortest bait is only 22 arm spans. This fish bit the stinger so I had a bit more time (as we troll the stinger in a different postcode). Except that I didn’t have more time. I got downstairs and the first jump, no shoot. Camera is no go. Error, error. Proceed to freak out. So I scrambled back upstairs switched this lens onto my other camera body and rush back down. Still freaking out, do a few test shots, adjust the settings, this is very first shot after all of that. And then it did proper leader jumps. I think it was worth the stress lol.
