    Awesome captain and deckhand!

    We caught Marlin which was great but the Captain and Deckhand made the trip. They worked hard, had fun, made it easy going for us, great to talk to, even if we didnt catch anything it still would have been a good day out with these guys. Also, i made a request to go after Rooster fish even though its not really season for it, they still accommodated no problem and we went after them for a bit too. Well worth the money, great crew, could not recommend these guys more.

Striped Marlin fishing is all about speed, color, and aerial fights. This Billfish is famous for neon-blue stripes that light up when it hunts. Anglers target it for hard runs, high jumps, and true bluewater excitement.

Most crews troll offshore with plastic skirted lures or rigged natural bait like ballyhoo or mackerel. Slow-trolling live bait also works well when fish are finning on the surface. Many captains use switch-and-bait, teasing a fish to the boat and then pitching a bait. Sight casting can be effective, and fly fishing means casting lightweight artificial flies to a fish near the surface.

Expect long runs, tail-walks, and fast action when a bite turns on. Trips often head offshore into bluewater and may run longer to find temperature breaks and bait fish. This is great for anglers who enjoy active sportfishing and teamwork. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, layered clothing, and non-marking shoes. Pack snacks and water if your captain does not provide them. A fighting belt and heavy tackle are usually on board. Many anglers practice catch and release to help the fishery.

Regulations vary by location and can change. Always check local fishing license and permit rules before your trip. Confirm current seasons, harvest rules, and any billfish-specific limits with your captain and local authorities. Follow best practices for safe handling and quick releases.
