How do sport fishermen after, say Marlin, avoid catching Dolphins?
In: Other
Well, because you’re fishing for marlin, not dolphins!
How you fish for marlin is that you boat around areas where you expect them to be and look for their fins sticking out of the water. They often skim the surface so this is the only way to find them. Marlin are solitary fish and when you’re lucky enough to see one, you haul ass towards it and get in position. When you’re in position you throw out a lure in front of it and drive the boat (troll with the lure), hoping to get the marlin to chase and bite it, which they often do.
Notice anything regarding dolphins there? Probably not, because you’re out catching a marlin, not a dolphin.
