Show Notes
This week, Lee and Joel welcome aboard Tim Dean, a name synonymous with the legendary black marlin grounds of Cairns. With a lifetime spent running charters in one of the world’s most iconic fisheries, Tim brings a treasure trove of stories from monster fish that pushed crews to their limits to the quiet moments that remind you why the ocean keeps calling you back. Together, they explore the craft of marlin fishing, the characters who shaped the scene, and the deep respect that comes with chasing giants. It’s an episode rich with history, heart, and heavy tackle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
