August was a good month for large Billfish with fifty-five (55) reported to us over 500 lbs including fifty-one (51) Blue Marlin, two (2) Black Marlin and two (2) Swordfish.

Azores – Incredible action video of a 1,075 lbs. Blue Marlin on the Boca Raton.
Mid Atlantic, USA – It appears the White Marlin run has begun. From Ocean City, Maryland to Oregon Inlet, North Carolina boats are returning home with riggers filled with Blue and White Flags.

Port Aransas, Texas – Seems like a fish story for sure, except the proof is in the pictures. What we gather from a link we received from a site called 2CoolFishing was that angler Chris Kelley was surf fishing for redfish, when this Swordfish grabbed his redfish. He obviously landed the fish and this is not photoshopped. Per the report,…
July proved to be a good month, but still a little slow when compared to 2013. We don’t want to blame one fishery, but Bermuda was the culprit when comparing 2013 to 2014. We still managed sixty-three (63) Marlin reported to us over 500 lbs, with sixty-one (61) of those being Blue Marlin and two (2) of those were Black…
