WHERE WE FIND THEM
Blue Marlin roam the deep offshore waters of the Gulf, often following baitfish along temperature breaks, current edges, and blue-water conditions. While encounters are uncommon, these legendary fish occasionally show up during extended offshore trips out of Orange Beach.
HOW WE CATCH THEM
We use a variety of techniques depending on conditions, but these are our go-to methods:
- Trolling large artificial lures
- Trolling rigged natural baits
- Fishing temperature breaks and current edges
- Targeting offshore bait concentrations
Captain's Tip
“You don’t get many chances at a Blue Marlin. When that bite comes, stay calm, listen to the crew, and enjoy every second of it.”
Capt. Justin Walker
