A deep sea marlin ready to be weighed at Batemans Bay Marina on the South Coast of NSW Australia. No, the little girl didn't catch the marlin but she looks impressed. This 75.3kg striped Marlin was the fishermans first and after 9 years of trying to catch one in New Zealand, he finally caught one when he chartered the M.V. Jean Marie for a game fishing trip. He could have saved a fortune if he'd have just called Batemans Bay Fishing first. Why not try your hand and see if we can help you land your first Marlin with catch and release a great sports game fishing experience.
The most likely time to encounter a Marlin is the period from January to April off Australia's east coast, though big fish have been caught in September/October.
The marlin is a splendid fish with enormous power and dazzling acceleration over short distances. In the fury of the fight, they will make plunging deep dives as well as dozens of great leaps. Blue Marlin and (particularly) striped marlin, glow with colour during the contest, a remarkable phenomenon.
