Whenever possible I like to do a bit of livebaiting along the dropoff in the morning and lure trolling to cover more ground afterwards.However,there are some times of the year when live bait is scarce and we only do lure trolling

After some northerly wind and choppy seas it was starting to get better.We caught a skipjack early during the trip and started live baiting but the bait quickly got weak and the schools around us were dissipating.We put the lures out and headed gor the deeper waters were we caught another skipjack. Just after leaving the school we got a strike and it was game on. Our customer who had been looking to catch his first marlin in different countries finally got it after a 25 minutes fight.While the crew were resetting the lures 2 marlins showed up behind the lures and we got a hookup on the short corner lure.It was an estimated 600 lbs blue that was very aggressive and took a lot of line on the 80lbs reel. Our customer got on the fighting chair but unfortunately the line broke after the marlin started doing some acrobatic jumps far away from the boat.We came back with a blue marlin and 2 skipjacks.

On that morning with no activity along the dropoff we decided to try our luck a bit further south. Sea was good and we spotted a few birds and caught a wahoo and shortly after we had 2 yellowfin tuna on the lines.During the fight there was a heavy rain and wind picked ip and the sea got rough and tough.After boating the two 80lbs tunas we headed downwind and did not find much.About an hour before heading back we had a strike on the long rigger lure and saw that huge black marlin taking to the air.The fish did not take too much line but was very stubborn and did not want to move from where it was.Our regular customer Mr Chris did an excellent job on the chair but a fish that size wears you out and time was going by.After trying trick after trick the fish was finally starting to get uncomfortable and came up and made some beautiful jumps just to show its size and power. Some time later ,as we were getting ready with the gaffs and the fish was just 2 meters away from the boat with leader in hand, the leader broke due to the many hours chafing with the bill. Some could say a nice release.We could just watch the beautiful fish slowly swim away...see you another day

Out on this wavy afternoon looking for some action we had a strike while we were putting the lines in the water.The hook did not set properly and the fish got away.The next two hours we did not see much until we spotted a few birds circling an area.On the first passage we did not raise any fish but on the second passage a blue marlin hit the short rigger lure before going for the long rigger.Fish on, our customer had a tough fight and the marlin did not jump even once.An hour later we got the gaffs ready and our customer was very pleased to have his first blue marlin on the boat.

On this choppy day we headed out and caught 2 skipjacks in a school along the dropoff and with a lot of bird activity around we decided to do some live baiting. It was a good choice as after half an hour we had an aggressive strike on one of the baits and the good sized marlin took to the air. After taking about 500 meters of line the fish jumped a few more times before going deep where it died. We then had the hard work of bringing the dead fish back up to the surface. Two hours later we were tired and happy to haul the beast onboard.

On this last day of 2025 we went out on a rainy day.Within an hour into the trip we hooked an estimated 300 lbs blue that did some acrobatics and took a bit of line off the reel ,unfortunately the hook came out. We continued and patience was rewarded later after another blue marlin came to check and hit two short corner lures before getting hooked on a long corner lure.Our customer's thirty years of trying to catch one finally paid off.

After catching an average sized marlin the previous day our lucky customer got serious with this bigger fish.We trolled the deep waters during the trip without success and caught this nice sized blue on the way back. The fish gave a very good fight and was hauled onboard after an hour fight.
