if you want to get your son hooked on fishing and you have the money i would suggest at some stage take him to Broome during the peak sailfishing season and charter a game fishing boat - not that expensive if you share the costs with a couple of others

Marlin are great for the sheer size and power but nothing compares to raiding hordes of sailies coming into the spread.

My jaw dropped dropped to the ground and i wet my pants seeing multiple beaks piercing the surface chasing down trolled skip baits metres from the back of the boat

and they love to jump, although they dont have the power and conviction a marlin does when its hooked


when i was up there we tagged 12 and caught various other table fish, another boat tagged 22 that day - impressive numbers no shortage of excitement for sure
