The Fun Of Blue Marlin Fishing
The blue marlin is one of the most stunningly lovely creatures of the sea. Sporting long, pointed beaks and sleek bodies, these supermodels of the seas seem as though they were placed on earth for the sole purpose of being photographed alongside their proud and exhausted captors before being cast back into the sea to fight another day. Weighing nearly a ton and growing as long as 20 feet, they are worthy opponents for the intrepid blue marlin fishing enthusiast.
Catch And Release
The daytime excursions to capture and photograph them may last only a few hours or up to a day but it takes weeks of fitness training to prepare for the encounter. The sport was popularized by Ernest Hemingway in his novel, 'The Old Man and the Sea', written in 1952 and telling the story of the relationship between an old Cuban fisherman and his sleek, blue quarry. The practice of 'capture and release' was adopted to protect dwindling populations.
Warm Waters
Like many humans, this beast loves warmth. It is found mostly in tropical waters in both the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific Oceans. They migrate seasonally in spring and summer to take advantage of rich feeding conditions in temperate conditions of the northern and southern hemispheres.
Two Species
Two genetically different species have been identified by marine biologists. These are the 'A-phenotype', which dwell in the Atlantic, and the 'P-phenotype', that cruises Pacific waters. While specimens of the 'P-phenotype' have been located in Atlantic waters, there have been no reports of reciprocal occupation.
Billfish
The general term 'billfish' describes a number of species of long, predatory fish characterized by long, sword-like bills. It includes sailfish and swordfish. They are generally exploited for both food and game. Swordfish, in particular, are prized for their firm, tasty flesh. While the long beaks have been observed in anger to spear objects such as small boats, their main function is to stun prey.
Different Lures For Blue Marlin
Techniques for catching blue marlin include the use of artificial lures and natural or live bait. The use of artificial lures is most popular and originated in Hawaii. Earliest artificial lures were constructed from chrome bars and rubber strips from inner tubes. Four or more of these may be trolled behind boats at velocities between 7 and 15 knots.
Best Live Bait For Blue Marlin
The preferred live bait is the skipjack tuna. This makes sense since tuna, mackerel and squid are among the game fish's favorite diet. Specimens as large as 100 pounds have been retrieved from the stomachs of these fish. Trolling live bait is limited by the degree to which the bait remains alive. One of the most popular spots for using this technique is in Kona, on the island of Hawaii. Natural baits may be either living or dead. Spanish mackerel and horse ballyhoo are popular amongst the Atlantic species. Ballyhoo is from the halfbeak family of fish.
So, blue marlin fishing is one of the most romantic and adventurous pastimes for the deep sea angler. The marlin fishing charters draws the fisherman to some of the most delightful beauty spots on the balmiest seas on the planet. It is, however, as demanding on the credit card as it is on the physique.
