The Ultimate Guide to Blue Marlin Fishing
Blue
marlin fishing is
one of the most exciting challenges facing any angler. Marlins are fast,
athletic, and they can be extremely huge. When we say huge, it’s humongous! It
is also the most revered sport fish on the planet and you’ll never forget each
and everyone you’re lucky enough to catch. If you try Stuart, Florida
Charter Boat Excursions, then there will be a high chance that you can
encounter Blue marlins.
Let’s
learn this ultimate guide to Blue Marlin Fishing.
Where is
the Best Place to Catch a Blue Marlin?
Blue
Marlins will usually be found feeding on schooling dolphins and tuna 15 to 25
miles offshore in 1200 to 1500 feet of water off the coast of Stuart, Florida.

Experience Charter.
Bahamas Fishing Charter in May, June, and July
usually has abundant Blue Marlins. The lack of fishing pressure and the
abundance of tunas to feed on keeps the Blue Marlin fishery strong throughout
the Bahamas.
How Do
You Fish a Blue Marlin?
-
Although Striped Marlin is the second fastest fish in the world, swimming at up
to 50 miles per hour. The speed of the Blue Marlins also leaves most other fish
trailing in their wake. That’s why catching a Blue Marlin is not an easy chore.
- A
novice angler has to learn how to “pump and reel” or do “short-stroke.”
Otherwise, the last 50 feet will take forever, with the fish pulling back every
foot of line the angler takes up. The short-stroke technique is where the
angler raises the rod about 15 degrees and reels like crazy for one turn of the
crank as he lowers the rod tip back down those 15 degrees and rapidly repeats
that process one crank after the other until the last 45 feet of line is won
and the leader is reached by the wireman.
- When
the leader can be reached by the wireman, he will pull the fish up beside the
boat for pictures and high fives. Sometimes really wild stuff happens when the
wireman grabs the leader, like an all-new airshow if the fish is still “green”
or the fish making a new run and the wireman having to “dump” the leader. If
the wireman dumps, the angler will have to refight the fish back up to the
leader and the wireman will have to try again.
How Long
Does it Take to Reel in a Blue Marlin?
Fighting
the fish up those last 50 feet is a skill within itself. Once hooked, all types
of Marlin display an acrobatic ability worthy of a ballerina and an acrobat –
or perhaps it would be more accurate to compare them to a bullfighter. They
dance, skip, and leap through the air on the end of your line, giving the
angler the fight of their life. It’s little wonder that fishing for Marlins has
almost legendary status amongst anglers all over the world. We can truly say
that it’s not for amateurs.
How Much
Does it Cost to Mount a Blue Marlin?
It does
cost a lot. But the cost will matter according to sizes. You can check

charters in Stuart for the price.
