WHERE • The billfish action really starts to heat up around the world in late spring, with several international destinations coming online. After a wild spring marlin bite, fishing will remain good in Costa Rica through early summer, while Cape Verde continues to off er up some of the most consistent blue marlin fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Feeling adventurous? Bom Bom and Papua New Guinea beckon.

RECYCLED • One of the hottest new trends is the rapidly expanding use of recycled material for a wide variety of products. Your next pair of fishing shorts, shirts, sunglasses or other gear could very well contain repurposed material from water bottles, fishing nets or any number of other sources. What's old is new again.
