Please keep yourself informed of the plot hatched by the Environmental Defense Fund and put in motion by NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco to privatize our marine resources and either lease or sell the fish back to domestic commercial and recreational fishermen for the enviros profit and control of the fishery. Ignore this hijack attempt on our unalienable right to fish and you will be buying fish tags at Wal-Mart in order to keep the fish you catch.

SHALLOW WATER
WHITE MARLIN
By Captain John Galvin
Mention marlin to anyone who fishes in the saltwater and they will instantly conjure up images of tropical climates and blue waters. While this holds true throughout most of the world’s billfish hotspots, the waters off Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket buck the trend . During the months of July, August, and September, white marlin or “skillies” as some refer to them, invade the shallow waters of the 20 and 30 fathom curves south of the Islands and can be caught in water as cool as 62 degrees!

WHITE MARLIN
By Captain Jerry Lanzerotti
When I was asked to put an article together for the Big Game Fishing Journal about white marlin fishing I was flattered. I thought to myself that we just jump on the boat and go. We have been doing it for so long, everything is automatic to us. Once I put pen to paper it seemed that I had to keep adding more and more to the list to explain, “Just the way we do it.” So I am going to start from the very beginning and work to the end. More

The sun is just under the horizon giving us a little relief from the ever present summer heat. We’ve just finished cleaning a wahoo from a really productive afternoon bite. The motors have been shut down, and we’re beginning our drift. You can feel the calm of the night set in—the ocean looks like glass as the sun fades away. There is a quiet that stands out. We don’t really notice all of the noise in our lives until it is completely removed, and that sound of quiet is really amazing. Next thing you know a zillion stars appear in the night sky. Stars you never knew existed. Stars you do not see in the everyday grind of life back on land. The transom lights have just been turned on, and we sit around these lights much like campers around the campfire. We’re taking advantage of this time; relaxing, telling stories and jokes we’d never repeat on shore, and taking in the scenes of the ocean nightlife. All the while, in our minds, we’re looking forward to tonight’s fight. Now we begin to smell supper on the George Foreman. Nothing like some fresh wahoo and a cold beer to get you ready for the night ahead. More

Hello everybody! I am Captain Quinton Dieterle, a Miami native that has fished my entire life off the East Coast of Florida. My career as a mate then charter boat captain and now captain of the Get Lit, a Miami based fishing team, has given me some of the most exciting times you can imagine, from large blue marlin and sailfish to record catches of sailfish caught during the 2012 sailfish series.
In this article, I am going to explain some of the techniques I have learned through the years and provide some advice that will make your sailfishing more productive. Lets concentrate on kite fishing. It is by-far the most exciting technique used to catch sailfish. So here we go! More
THE BLUE MARLIN
By Adam Demeusy
Ask any seasoned offshore angler or captain what is the ultimate gamefish challenge and they will say the bIue marlin. Unlike any other gamefish in the sea, the blue marlin is the most unpredictable, crafty, and agile creature that lurks in the deep. This gamefish has lightning speed and the ability to change direction in a fraction of a second. It also performs uncanny leaping and skipping antics that are designed to detach even the best of big game hook rigs. Blue marlin are just a flash of amazing speed and acrobatics that every angler who has tangled with one will say they experienced an amazing battle. More
