If your goal is to catch a marlin and only a marlin, head to Sodwana Bay on the northern coast of KwaZulu Natal just south of Mozambique. This area is teeming with black and striped marlin, and the occasional blue marlin is caught. Over fishing has lead to a mostly tag and release method being used in Sodwana Bay.
