Azores – For any big blue marlin angler hunter, the Azores conjures up thoughts of big blue marlin. Like a lot of the big blue marlin hot spots, the Azores are towards the end of the range for Blue Marlin and thus a short season, but that translates into big females. While the Azores have not been producing as many legendary Granders over the last few years a big blue could pop up at any moment.

There have been some great fishing over the last few days. We mostly follow the Habitat (www.habitatboat.com), Xacara (www.azoresmarlin.com) and Brasilia (www.azores-fishing.com). Here are some of the recent releases.
