Black Pete Marine

Momoi, the #1 monofilament in the World!

It's Momoi's main claim, and has rung true the world over.
It is then no surprise that the top 10 finishers from the Tag and Release division in this years 2018 Interclub tournament were running Momoi IGFA main line or Momoi NEO Fluorocarbon leader.
As were the top two boats in the Capture division.
(Congratulations to Born Free and Workhorse once again!)

Momoi NEO Pink Fluorocarbon has been steadily gaining in popularity, and easily converting all newcomers who try it.
It's no surprise that with such incredible Marlin fishing along the entire East Coast that 80lb, 100lb, 130lb, and 150lb sizes have been walking off the shelves.

If you want to give yourself the best chance at connecting with your first, or your hundredth Marlin this season, get some MOMOI between you and that next fish!!!

A big thank you to Scotty, Junior, Ben and Pip for a great weekend on the mighty Freedom over the weekend fishing the 2018 Interclub, it was a pleasure fishing with you all. If your keen on a VERY experienced charter operation give Scott Thorington a call on 0419440869. Even if you have your own boat it's well worth chartering someone like Freedom out as it could help you give the edge you need for catching good numbers of fish in the Port Stephens area or anywhere on the East Coast. They are having a great season at Port with many good weeks still to come so book your charter ASAP.

Swordfish Slayer! Here's a sleek deep drop rod made by Tom Bamforth from TBC Rod Co. for one of our gun local anglers to use in the coming weeks, months and years up and down the coast. Configured with a wicked Winthrop Termintor Adjusta-Butt that goes from straight to bent at a button's click, titanium Winthrop tip and Fuji SiC guides. The grip is durable heatshrink over firm EVA to withstand some grubby bait fishing. This rod has a forgiving soft tip and a lovely smooth load curve, designed to fish 12-20kg drag pressure. We will be selling some of these so if anyone is interested please message us!

Happy Easter to everyone out there. Lets hope the weather is good and there are plenty of fish to be caught!

Who's chasing there dream catch this Easter?

Your passion for fishing normally starts through your parents when your young. Here is an article from Modern Fishing back in 1980 that my dad Peter 'Black Pete' Thackeray wrote. I was only 7 at the time when the old man introduced me to fishing, a overnight trip that is one of my earliest memories in life!
My passion turned into my career so I'm pretty stoked with that. I'm sure heaps of other people out there can thank their parents for introducing them to fishing. Cheers Black Pete.

Marlin Magic and Aloha Lures Victoria bound with and without wings, rigged ready to go. Most of the lures in the photo are Marlin Magic baby hard heads which have been a stand out lure this year on the bluefin down in Vic, Tas and SA waters. These 10" lures also double as a great marlin lure and are well worth adding to your spread over the Christmas New Year holidays and encountered for many marlin on the NSW south coast earlier this year. They will also make a great Christmas present and any fishermen happy.

How nice do these Marlin Magic and Aloha Lures look with wings? Black Pete can now add wings to all lures in our range whether they are Marlin Magic, Aloha or Billmark lures. Our new wings also come in various colours. Ask for them at your local tackle store or contact us and we can tell you where to get them.
