Tag
& Release:
We are official
Billfish Foundation
members and
therefore operate
a Tag &
Release policy
on board As
we are members
you, the angler,
will qualify
for a much-prized
Billfish Foundation
Release Certificate.
All billfish
caught for release
(Atlantic Blue
Marlin, Sailfish,
White Marlin,
Short and Long
Bill Spearfish)
on board our
boats are tagged
alongside the
boat at which
point we make
an accurate
estimate of
the weight of
the fish. This
is based on
the length and
width of the
fish together
with other indicators
known to our
experienced
crews.
The fish is
then fully revived
before being
released. Depending
on the fight
time with the
fish, this can
take up to 10
minutes, though
most are released
in a shorter
time.
All hooks should
be removed,
as cutting off
the leader and
leaving the
hook in the
fish should
be avoided at
all costs.
As Billfish
Foundation members
our motto is
"Safety
At All Costs",
for the angler,
the crew and,
of course, the
fish that has
provided the
wonderful sport.
