How to Catch
Striped Marlin is found in coastal saltwater areas. Use a Fishing Rod and cast into deep water near the coast. As an expert-level fish, the Striped Marlin fights aggressively when hooked. Be prepared for extended back-and-forth during the reeling phase: pull the rod opposite to the fish's swimming direction to tire it out, and only reel in when the water calms. Attempting to reel while the fish is still thrashing will snap the line.
A higher-quality Fishing Rod (such as the Fine Fishing Rod from the back alley shop south of the House of Healing) helps manage the tension during the fight.
