Renowned Aussie captain Tim Richardson takes us on a global billfishing journey—from Cairns to the Caribbean —sharing what it’s really like to run world-class marlin charters across multiple billfish hot spots.
In Part 1 of this 2-part episode, Capt. Tim, owner/operator of Tradition Charters, breaks down the key differences between marlin fishing in Australia vs. the United States. With decades of experience running custom game boats since the early ’90s, he dives into the boats, techniques, and conditions that define each region.
We talk everything from his Aussie-built 49’ Dick Ward "Tradition" operating in the Cairns heavy-tackle fishery, to his former light-tackle machine the 48’ G&S "Chaser" in the Dominican Republic—plus the stories behind chasing 1000lb Black Marlin on the Great Barrier Reef, Blue Marlin in Bermuda, and light-tackle White Marlin & Sailfish in the Caribbean.
If you’re into big-game fishing, custom game boats, or real stories from the captain’s chair, this one delivers.
