Striped Marlin Fishing

Striped Marlin (Tetrapturus audax) Current I.G.F.A. all time record: 224.10kg (494lb) - Tutukaka, New Zealand - 16 January 1986 Description: Body elongated and compressed, upper jaw extended forming a rounded spear, dark blue above becoming silver below, light blue bars or vertical spots on the sides. Other Common Names: Striper, Stripey, Spikefish Size: Range: An offshore, blue water fish, pelagic, ranges throughout tropical and warm temperature waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. On the west coast of the United States they range as far north as Oregon, but are most common south of Point Conception, California. Natural History: Feed predominately on fishes with squid, crabs and shrimp; spear sometimes used as a weapon for defense and as an aid in capturing food by slashing sideways with the spear rather than impaling its victim. Fighting Characteristics: Strong fighter on light tackle. Commonly dances across the surface when hooked and jumps can be spectacular. When first hooked some fish will jump several times then dive deep and never return to the surface. Fantastic fish to catch on fly tackle due to it's speed and enthusiasm to "chomp" on a well presented fly. Courtesy of Billfish Tackle Supply
