Bahamas – We never really know how to size up the Bahamas. Plenty of boats fishing there and plenty of marlin caught, but it is tough sometimes to locate the bite. A lot of that has to do with less than steady reporting, but it also has to do with most boats working their way through various islands. I don’t think we would ever call the Bahamas slow, but the last few years have not been off the charts good. The Bahamas was once a real destination, but it seems like more boats are using it as a gateway to the Caribbean. Well, you may want to put the Bahamas back on your list of destinations and maybe even stay a while.

There has been a really solid Blue Marlin bite going on for over a month and nobody is really talking about. While most fish are in the 200-300 lbs range, there were three Blue Marlin caught over 500 lbs. Blue Heaven released a 600+, Ma Sheila weighed a 682 and Great Escape released an 800. Best day we heard on Blue Marlin was on the Ruthie going 4-5 off San Salvador. Dakeri scored a a five (5) marlin day releasing 2 Blue Marlin and 3 White Marlin off Cat Island. Speaking of White Marlin,  Never Enough released four (4) White Marlin in Abaco and was the best day we heard of on White Marlin.
