The White Marlin is a smaller, but more acrobatic cousin of the Blue Marlin. However do not let the size of this fish fool you. We use lighter tackle and this matched with the acrobatic, high flying antics of the White Marlin is a real crowd pleaser. It is not uncommon to have two, three or more of these fish come into your spread at any time! Hooking a White Marlin can be a very tricky, if not frustrating feat. They usually do not attack a bait as aggressively as the Blue Marlin, but once they are hooked they start a very impressive series of jumps. When the bite is on there aren't very many places in the world that can match the fishery of white marlin found off the outerbanks.

We do get quite a few of these beautiful fish here. Especially in late spring early summer, when the water tends to warm up in the more shallow waters. It is not uncommon to have two or three in your spread just like the white marlin. So if you go fishing on the Point Runner in the billfish seasons make sure you bring a good pair of polarized sun glasses because you will not want to miss the excitement of a billfish appearing in our spread.
