Billfish catch and release vs Kill

Billfish Catch and release vs Kill Billfish anglers have a lot to be proud of in terms of conservation over the past several decades. The adoption of circle hooks has done wonders for both increasing the number of fish we see in our spreads as well as lowering post-release mortality. Releasing marlin instead of killing them is also the accepted norm now and, for the most part, long gone are the days where billfish are strung up at the dock just to see them twist in the wind. All of this is great, but the debate still ensues whether it’s acceptable (socially, biologically or otherwise) to kill a ­billfish, and the controversy remains. In order to objectively address the question, let’s first try to put recreational billfish harvest into context. In the Atlantic, for example, the United States has the largest recreational billfish fishery. Since 2001, ICCAT has capped the U.S. at a maximum annual harvest of 250 blue and white marlin combined. Annual landings are typically...

The Secrets of Trolling Lures

The Secrets of Trolling lures for big game fish. A very good friend of mine and a great teacher, Hawaiian Capt. Mike Rand, once said to me, “Marlin fishing is a simple thing that we make complicated, only to realize just how simple it is.” No truer words have been spoke As an avid fisherman and lure maker, I made it my goal to understand how to be more successful when trolling for billfish, and then use that insight to help make lures that produce the best possible results. I’ve been lucky enough to fish in some of the best lure fisheries in the world and to learn from some of the best lure makers and captains in these places. I combined their experience with my own ideas, gained from my time running boats, working cockpits and designing and making lures. There are many theories regarding lure fishing that get bandied about, some of which just provide food for thought and others that seem to actually make a difference out on the water. However, some would argue that the practice of t...
