Sportfishing For Black Marlin Is An Excellent Outing
The Black marlin is a premiere game fish for sport fishermen. Recently the black marlin, which was previously known as Makaira indica, was re-classified as Istiompax indica. Although most commonly associated with the blue marlin, genetically it is most similarly related to the striped/white marlin. This re-classification also links it more closely with sailfish. No matter the classification black marlin fishing is a popular recreational activity.
Comparing Species
Black marlins are a much more solid fish than its cousin the blue marlin. They feature a much shorter bill and rounder dorsal fin than other marlin. They are also unique in the fact that their bill will not fold over if pressed on. This is yet another way people can distinguish between the different types of marlin.
What They Eat
Known as being very predatory, black marlin have an extensive diet comprised of many different things. They love tuna, cuttlefish, and other crustaceans. They will pretty much eat any fish smaller than them. This leaves the black marlin with a very extensive menu to choose from as it is one of the larger fish in the sea.
Amazing Fighters
Since they offer such an amazing fight for fishermen, black marlin are highly sought after the world over. Research has shown that, for whatever reason, black marlins are much easier to catch during a full moon. Some suggest this is because when there is a full moon fish swim up to the surface to find their food.
Locations
Where can you find black marlin? They love to swim in warm water, so the indo-pacific oceans are a great place to start looking. They have also been spotted in Chile and in some parts of southern California. They like to swim just underneath the surface of the water. They also especially like to swim near underwater structures like coral reefs.
Fishing Tours
For the average fishermen it would be very hard to locate and catch one of these monstrous fish on your own. If you are serious about getting a black marlin, your best bet may be to hire an experienced fishing charter. They will be able to take you to where the fish are and give you the latest technology to improve your chances of landing one. Some black marlin can actually weigh up to 1,4000 pounds and grow to be fifteen feet in length. So, you may need some extra help reeling one of these fish on board. Surely, there is nothing more exciting in the world of fishing than catching a black marlin.
Black marlin fishing is one of the most adventurous things anyone can attempt. They offer one of the greatest challenges any fisherman can face. Compared to Blue Marlin fishing, going after black marlins is much more difficult. Due to so many people going after these fish, however, their numbers are dwindling. There are actually restrictions on fishing for black marlin now that say if you catch one you must tag and release it.
