A typical day for Marlin Fishing…

We leave the marina at about 7 am and travel out to the fishing grounds for live bait.

We analyse the best methods for catching fish on that particular day.

We use freshly caught live baits, either slow trolling them or by switching to towing teasers until a Marlin is attracted and teased up to the transom of the vessel – at which point the teaser is replaced with live or pitch bait.

You get an close up look at a very excited Marlin waiting to pounce on anything that is dropped into the water – a very exciting moment.

We usually catch lots of Yellowfin Tuna during the time as well. You can’t imagine how many Tuna are around us.

We normally arrive back at the Marina at 5 pm.

Yellowfin Tuna

We usually troll a selection of proven lures and fish over the shelf around the canyons and seamounts where large Yellowfin tend to prowl. At different times we will drift and ‘cube’ for Yellowfin. ‘Cubing’ involves cutting up small pieces of pilchards and forming a berly trail.

The Tuna pick up the trail and will swim right up to the boat while the angler feeds bait along the berly trails – usually resulting in some awesome hook-ups.
