Although maximum of the Gamefishing my clients savour aboard Bite Me is featherweight to prevailing conditions tackle, I now and again get the possibleness to respite out the crooked stock 80s and go after marlin. Every fighting beside these monsters is a learning experience. We have learnt a few holding along the way and for what its worth, I will be posting a few examples. You can swot up from them, or hoot at them. I advise some.

2.30pm header away from the Kadavu Seamount

1. Trolling a introduce of 4 lures nearest the Kadavu mount - A chromatic Hollowpoint Cabo Killa on the eternal rigger, and a sapphire/white/yellow/pink Black Bart Hot Breakfast on the epigrammatic rigger, some lures with a unary 10/0 Stainless metal catch prudish rigged on telecommunication. 19 feet of 400lb wind-on and 9 feet of 300lb Ande mastermind. Short and long corners were a large shiny / sickly customized MBT Monster and a John Lau Linda, both 12/0 dual catch baggy trammels rigged at roughly 45 degrees. (Pakula sort)

A immense blue-black of astir 600lbs comes in from the right, nails the short rigger, (skipper guns the ferry) after crosses terminated and nails the protracted artisan as that inducement passes her as symptomless. Two Penn International 80s crying. The fish next charges distant in the contrary route to the liner on the plane for a few seconds and then disappears. (Pandemonium on deck- is it a threefold hook-up? Who goes in the bench ? - scads of yelling approaching from the suspension bridge). Angler vertical by respectively rod turn over we find out scientifically what's active on. (I cognize I know, contiguous bomb to follow beside IGFA Rules - but you try erect and indefinitely retentive a noisy warped butt end 80 beside 25lbs of resistance - Hays Handle or not) 5 seconds next the dark blue emerges individual 40 yards down the vessel and launches vertically sanitized out of the sea giving each one a brilliant internal representation of a giant blue, on the side on, hoary and chromatic flanks, 15 feet in the air. The chromatic seems to hang, undecided in the air whilst 6 jaws hit the platform next crashes put money on in a fit of anger, throws both lures and disappears. Anglers turn in matted bewilderment of two lures next to both body to a great extent scuffed for several feet ahead of all bait. One of the paw had its element warped.

What went precise ?

• Well, we went to the accurate plonk. (had another bitty pitch-black ahead of time on a skipbait)
• We ran the accurate lures in the correct insignia. (lures imitating the skipjack prickly pear cactus and mahi that were in the strip)
• Our manus were sharp
• We gunned the craft after the work stoppage to backing set the catch.

1. Single hook prudish overseas telegram rig is not the way to go. The chromatic was able to let fly both lures. If they had been outrigged near a 2 catch limp constraint rig, the trailing catch may have swung complete or lower than the instrument and fixed us a hook-up. If we had inactive run distinct catch rigs (because of bonus weight killing the pull exploit) it mightiness have been better if we had not used a priggish line rig and utilized ponderous monaural instead, allowing the hook to activeness a minuscule.
2. One of the mitt had its component bent. It had tried to get into but the tine area, man precise sharp, was likewise runny compared to the rate of the hook. The smudge physical phenomenon must have been provoking to set the hook at an angle to the route of the catch element and or else of impulsive the spine in, it rounded it.

If you are sportfishing for pitch-black marlin, I suggest a two catch rig or a lonesome hook set fit support in the cloth covering and lateen-rigged on big monaural to donate it few compliance. Yes, a 2 hook rig can pin a marlins holding device slam so you beyond doubt must shift the paw and yes- a big mahi mahi on the platform with one hook in its oral cavity and different flailing about is a nightmare for any deckie but if you are distant something like that, go beside a azygous Duratin hook on monophonic. (we do apprehension roughly that)

Don't whetstone your catch points so overmuch so that the factor is longitudinal and see-through. By all effectuation have a delicate component but livelihood that element fundamental quantity shorter rather than long.

As to whether or not you should use hooks where on earth the factor is comparable to the cut of meat (like the Shogun T481 or Maruto 1983) or upside-down in a touch towards the cut (like the Mustad 7691 or Maruto 1962) ?

Jury is fixed out. I cognise one skippers use one of respectively in their immense lures with the trailing hook existence the upset in variety.

I suspect that the livelong reason of catch rigs in epic Marlin lures is a situation of discourse. I have posed the sound out to Tim Simpson, the Editor of BlueWater mag. It may be that the side by side cognitive content of the press has several exciting interpretation from professionals such as Peter Pakula.

Oh, by the way - the Feb/Mar put out has a atomic number 82 saga on the top Blue marlin skippers penchant lures and how they look-alike to rig them.
