After fishing for Rockcod on a 8 hour full day charter we normally troll for a Mako Shark, look for kelp Patti Yellowtail on the way back to the harbor. Well. my,my,my, lookie here we caught a approx. 175 # Striped Marlin only 2 miles offshore. Does not happen very offend but there are quite a few Marlin around this year mostly 24 miles offshore but you get them where you find them.
