how to fish for marlin :using Lures.
the majority of marlin hunters use lures like Moldcraft Black Barts, soft heads, and Pakulas, also the following lures may produce well, Pakula Cockroach, Coontail in black/red, Moldcraft Wide Range in blue/pink/white.Most fishermen utilizing five or four lines at a time.Moldcraft can be used as a basic lure placement set-up, I like to place the largest lure, very close to the transom on either side, approximately 20 feet back.The next lure would probably be at about 40 feet back and must be a straight runner with conical face or a flat head.
the most importing thing is how the lure acts than specific boat speed. Lure fishing isn't easy, It need big effort to keep lures working properly at slow speeds than high speeds. Blue Marlin that come up behind a lure and track it while showing little interest before returning to the depths means you're probably trolling too slowly. Blue Marlin fishing lures should pop and the more froth the better.

how to fish for marlin :using baits
The blue marlin prefers hooked bait to artificial lures probably because it can smell a potential meal when the bait is natural,so you have to catch or buy the bait frozen from bait companies.the best technique is to catch bonito or tuna first,then hooking them through the top of the eye socket.They will still swim and stay alive for many hours making the catch of th marlin so easy, what you have to do is lead the bait to the blue marlin and he will do the rest.
You will need to bring the best equipment available.You should have a stand-up class rod, Make sure it is elastic and not brittle, don't buy a rod that is longer then six feet long or shorter then 5 feet.Use a harness to fasten yourself to the boat, The reel should also have a proven drag I like to use an Accurate Platinum ATD 50 trolling reel and a custom roller rod) loaded with at least 130lb braid and a 300lb mono leader.
You don’t want to go through all of the expense of going to a distant location and hooking the fish of a lifetime and then losing it because you pinched pennies on the tackle.
It might be a good idea to cut the line when you feel that you are loosing the fight and you are starting to tire out rather then the fish tiring, The marlin can hold up for long times and you shouldn't put yourself into danger since the fight will demand every shroud of your strength and intelligence.
The first reasons for loosing the blue marlin is that the line breaks because the fisherman didn't judge the tension correctly or because the line is not Solid and strong so Make sure you have the best equipment with you to fish for the marlin. when you have landed the blue marlin it will be once of the best feelings you have experienced as a fisherman. Take a picture, show your friends and freeze many of the juicy steaks in your freezer for many meals to come. And most of all enjoy your experience.
