This species of marlin likes to range across the open ocean around bait
fish. They can be found along current lines, continental shelf drop
off, reefs and shore where warm current is running. Juvenile
black marlins move in schools of similar ages along the coast and
around islands.
Bait:
Can be caught on any fish, especially tuna, bonito, dolphin fish,
yellowtail, squid. In nature they stun and kill their bait
with side to side slashing movements of their bill.

can be rewarding, this will attract the attention of the marlin and
bring him up to the surface behind the boat.
