Have any of you private boaters ran across any local marlin while trying to find these albies around the 43 or the butterfly? I have heard of a couple being spotted from the Catalina Express boats but would sure like to hear of any others. Thanks.<br><br>Milo
I am keeping my eyes and ears out for you Milo. We'll see you on the Croooze manana. <br><br>Booyaa To Ya'!<br><A HREF="http://www.fishingclothes.com " target="_new">http://www.fishingclothes.com </A> <br>Romero

Hey Steve,<br> The marlin here in California are striped marlin and normally range between 100-150#. A big one around here is 200+. We do get some larger swordfish though up to 500#. I haven't yet fulfilled my dream and been lucky enough to pull on a swordie yet, but I am still waiting patiently!!! <br><br>Milo
No worried Milo<br><br>I wondered if they might be striped. I have heard that So.Cal swordfish get to good sizes (plus their soft mouths).<br><br>A few of our So.Cal clients are looking to try and raise some with deep water jigs on a long range trip or two so they tell me. <br><br>Have given them a few suggestions about rigging whole squid bodies over special glow head (double hook) rigs for deep water work and also having a go at swordfish at night when the boat is on the sea anchor or static.. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
