3 Marlin. 1 Man. 1 Tiny Boat. Striped Marlin Madness!

Marlin fishing is usually at least a two-man job with big boats, outriggers, and plenty of backup—but not today.

In this solo mission, Lee Rayner launches from Tathra before sunrise and heads 30km offshore in his 4.8m centre console to target striped marlin on his own. No deckie, no help—just him, a couple of live slimy mackerel, and a whole lot of ocean.

What starts with a bait getting eaten out of his hand turns into an unforgettable session of solo chaos. Lee hooks multiple marlin, fights them one at a time while steering the boat, and even lands a double hookup… alone. It’s bedlam, it’s beautiful, and it’s borderline bonkers.

Along the way, Lee shares the gear, bait rigging tips, sounder readings, and tactics that help him consistently find and land big fish offshore—even without a crew.
