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. It’s perhaps the best place on earth to catch striped marlin – it’s right at a Pacific migratory route, and a number of stripeys just stay there year round – and blues…
Check out this video clip, from “Blue Marlin of Ghana.” Makes you wonder how many marlin come into your spread and do nothing!
One look at the reports and one would think all that’s being caught these days are huge numbers of sailfish and striped marlin. But there still have been a fair few big girls caught thus far. The world’s highlights this year so far, by billfishery… Ascension Island – 950 blue, 900 blue, 700 blue, 600 blue Panama – 800 black,…
Malindi, Kenya – It should come as no surprise that a Billfish Grand Slam was accomplished in Keyna, but this time on fly! As if it was not challenging enough to get three species in one day, angler Con Jooste added the element of doing it with a fly rod. What made this even more impressive is that one of…

Ascension Island – We do not want to say, we told you so, but we did. It appears we may have had the first Grander Blue Marlin of 2010, caught by the Harmattan with Capt. Matthias Henningsen. She ate a Fox Lure that is apparently a home made lure. I guess it worked! They released her boat side after she…
Canavieiras, Brazil – Fishing this season on the Royal Charlotte Bank did not measure up to years past. For a famed area and for that matter, country, Brazil’s fertile waters have not measured up.
