Most of the fish you'll catch will be on LIVE bait 

(although you can use artificials to catch certain 

species). 

The first thing you want to do is pick the boat for 

the task. I usually go with a craft that has greater

REVERSE speed (this places less tension on the line  

and helps you land the fish much quicker). Although 

you might try a faster turning boat for fish that 

have blazing turn speeds like Mako sharks and certain

billfish, after you're on the water here is where 

things get tough. 

 

Leave your drag set at the middle. 

When a fish strikes, start reversing the boat and try

to keep the line and angler (guy in boat) in a straight

with each other because it places less stress on the 

hook and line as well. As the fish starts to become 

tired there will be more white and less red near the 

marlin on the fight meter; this is the time to start 

reeling. 

Click on the mouse button as you chase the fish. The 

added tension will wear them down so they do not run 

off with your line. 

Another thing to remember, especially with marlins and 

other fish, is that they're very "boat shy." Expect 

them to start hauling fin when they're near the boat. 

You also have to watch that the fish doesn't get under

the boat; otherwise it'll snap the line automatically. 

Try to keep the boat BEHIND the fish, especially when 

near the boat; then you can park the boat over it as 

you finish it up.
