Marlin Fishing Near the Arch

Captain Oscar guided the four guests aboard Blue Water for a morning of offshore fishing near the Arch.

At approximately 7:00 AM, the crew hooked a Marlin three miles offshore using a squid-style trolling lure. The successful hookup produced the charter's recorded Marlin catch.

Just 45 minutes later, at approximately 7:45 AM, a Sailfish struck the same lure in the same fishing area. Although the fish did not stay hooked, the encounter added another billfish opportunity to the morning.

Both encounters occurred within the first two hours of the charter, making the early session particularly productive.

Estimated Hookup Times

• 7:00 AM: Marlin hookup, squid-style trolling lure, three miles offshore near the Arch.
• 7:45 AM: Sailfish hookup, same lure and location; fish missed.

Hookup times are based on the charter notes; actual times were not independently timestamped.

Fishing Conditions and Final Catch Record

The fishing activity centered on an offshore area three miles from the Arch, where the squid-style trolling lure attracted two billfish encounters within 45 minutes.

The final catch record confirmed one Marlin. The Sailfish encounter was recorded as a missed hookup and was not included in the total.

The charter concluded at 2:00 PM after eight hours on the water, with four guests aboard Captain Oscar's Blue Water.
