Blue marlin fishing is one of the most exciting challenges facing any angler. Marlins are fast and athletic, and they can be extremely huge. When we say huge, it’s humongous! It is also the most revered sport fish on the planet, and you’ll never forget everyone you’re lucky enough to catch. If you try Stuart, Florida Charter Boat Excursions, you’ll likely encounter Blue Marlins.

How Do You Fish a Blue Marlin?
- Although Striped Marlin is the second fastest fish in the world, swimming at up to 50 miles per hour. The speed of Blue Marlins also leaves most other fish trailing in their wake. That’s why catching a Blue Marlin is not an easy sport.
- A novice angler has to learn how to “pump and reel” or do “short-stroke.” Otherwise, the last 50 feet will take forever, with the fish pulling back every foot of line the angler takes up. The short-stroke technique is where the angler raises the rod about 15 degrees and reels like crazy for one turn of the crank as he lowers the rod tip back down 15 degrees and rapidly repeats that process one crank after the other until the last 45 feet of line is won and the leader is reached by the wireman.
- When the leader can be reached by the wireman, he will pull the fish up beside the boat for pictures and high fives. Sometimes really wild stuff happens when the wireman grabs the leader, like an all-new airshow if the fish is still “green” or the fish making a new run and the wireman has to “dump” the leader. If the wireman dumps, the angler will have to refight the fish back up to the leader and the wireman will have to try again.
