St. Thomas, USVI is the Blue Marlin capital of the world. The famous North Drop, which is located only twenty miles from the island, produces more Blue Marlin bites per boat than any other place in the world.

It is not unusual to have five to ten Blue Marlin strikes every day during the peak months of June through October. During the week of the full moon the fish become extremely aggressive and will repeatedly attack a lure or bait until hooked. It is not uncommon to have two or even three marlin in the baits at one time. The best times for Blue Marlin are of course the summer and fall months, but you can catch these fish any time during the year. Anglers have caught Blue Marlin in the Virgin Islands January through December aboard the Prowler.
