Everyone has their favorite marlin lure. It could be its color, swim pattern, bubble trail or just plain luck. While we are not here to judge which is the best, we thought we would highlight the ones we like the best and or have seen hanging out of more billfish mouths. It should come as no surprise, that the birthplace…
Tournament locations are always a good way to see where the fish are – so if you’re looking for where to find the billfish in May consider the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Florida, and the US East Coast…with some Pacific locations mixed in.

The boat Karma, who is based out of San Diego, but spends a lot of time in Mexico and Central America, posted a couple really unique shots on a blue marlin. Check these out and…
Cabo San Lucas is a world-renowned marlin fishery – and one of the few places on earth where one can catch a marlin every day of the year.
