Physopath (AKA Danny) sends news that legendary mid Nth Coast kayak fisho Grant Ashwell has caught yet another Marlin at his stomping grounds at Sth West Rocks. Congradulations Mr Ashwell, you've done it again! Here's the report as it appeared in my inbox:

Here are a few shots of the latest expedition. Unfortunately the weather is very poor and we have only been able to get out infrequently. The water has been 25 to 26 degrees but lacking a current flow close in. In the first week I have managed about 6 hook ups--not too great for 9 hrs on the water some days but this has translated to 2 yellow fin, a cobia and a blacktip plus this marlin I boated and released on Friday after a 40 minute tussle. Louis (Gamefisher) and I are now land bound as big seas and high winds appear to have put paid to further sorties until the end of the week.
