![]() ![]() Dredges attract fish to your spread, period, and as an added bonus their appeal isn’t just limited to billfish. The first thing you need to do is offer the fish something big and beautiful to help lure them into your spread, and dredges are the answer. Even up the odds and you can battle big billfish like this blue marlin (caught on a 28-footer) on a small outboard boat. So, are you just going to shrug your shoulders and accept that the 50-footer over there will catch two billfish to every one you manage to hook up? Aw, heck no - it’s time to even the odds a bit. The deep thrumming of inboards and their big props creates a lower-frequency call that attracts those predators, a fact that’s been proven by taking recordings of the underwater sounds different power systems make, and then having ichthyologists compare them to the frequencies already knows to attract pelagic predators. It’s often said that your boat is your biggest teaser, and there’s undoubtedly some truth to this. Whether you’re hoping to compete in a big money billfish tournament like the WMO or you just want to feel the rush of battling with a billfish, if you own or fish from an outboard-powered boat you’re at a disadvantage when compared to the big dogs.
