"Three of the Billfish species, Black, Blue and Striped Marlin migrate here each year during these months. It is not uncommon to catch all three species in a day's fishing. Blue Marlin up to 600lbs are not uncommon with very large blue marlin presenting themselves occasionally. The recent years there have been over 15 world records for black, blue and striped marlin, caught in these waters using not only conventional tackle but also Ultra-Light tackle and Fly Fishing tackle. 4 of these world records were caught in the 2000 season on 2lb, 4lb and 6lb, an outstanding feat. A serious Saltwater Fly Fishing industry is quickly being established due to these world record results and also because the marlin are perfect size for the avid fly fisherman."
