Bimini, Bahamas – We have now seen Swordfish in the surf of Texas, Sailfish in South Florida canals and Striped Marlin in the Cabo Marina. Now, we can add Blue Marlin from the dock in Bimini. Capt. Skipper Gentry, normally behind the wheel of the Carolina Gentlemen has to search well offshore to find a Blue Marlin, but apparently he…

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…
