Dive into Marlin Fishing Cape Verde Adventures
Marlin Fishing Cape Verde is considered one of the best places in the world to bait and switch blue marlin. The aggressiveness of the blue marlins here in Cape Verde is what makes it one of the best places in the world to tease and pitch fish. The fish can range from 250lbs to over 1000lbs.
Teasing blue marlin in for a bait and switch is a very visual and exciting process. The fish here will typically chase the teaser with its back, bill, and tail out of the water, attempting to eat the teaser all the way to the boat!

Once the teaser is pulled out of the water, the fish will normally give our anglers a great visual bite right behind the boat! Our normal spread on daily basis is 2 dredges, 2 bridge teasers and two lures on our 130’s on the long riggers. The pitching is done on 50’s or 80’s depending on the size of the fish. Since the blue marlins here in Cape Verde are so aggressive it makes for a great opportunity for anglers to learn how to pitch and switch fish. I highly suggest to all my customers to take advantage of the fishery and pitch their own fish.
I have two mates that are very experienced in pitching fish and help teach our customers how to do it and will be by your side through the process. While we are all here to catch fish, I believe it is more rewarding for my anglers to hook their own fish. Not every angler is comfortable with pitching and if that is the case my deckhands will gladly help hook the fish for you. Experience the thrill of Marlin fishing Cape Verde with us and enjoy personalized guidance throughout your adventure!
