4.6 on Google, 11 reviews
Blue marlin show up in the deep water past the humps from late spring into fall. It is a long day of trolling for one big bite, so plan a full day, $2,475.

- How you fish itTrolling big baits & lures
- BoatPoppa Wahoo, 55' Hatteras
Blue marlin are the reason fighting chairs exist. Off Islamorada they patrol the blue water beyond the humps, shadowing the tuna schools, and the warm months give you the best odds of raising one. This is a hunt for one big moment: you troll big artificials and rigged baits for one shot at chaos.
You fish from a 55 foot Hatteras with a crew that knows the drill when a marlin piles on. Every marlin is released. A full day gives the deep water the time it rewards.
One big moment, fish in the box
A great marlin day is one or two bites. Tuna and mahi fish the same water in the warm months, so you have a real shot at fish for the box too.
