About Captain Bo Jenyns

Bojenyns.com

Bo Jenyns was born into a fishing family in Brisbane, Australia. His legendary father, Captain Ron Jenyns, won nine consecutive Australian sailing Championships, represented Australia at three Olympic Games, and was one of the pioneers of the Great Barrier Reef black marlin fishery. He took Bo to the Reef for the first time when Bo was 16 and taught him everything he knew about marlin fishing. Bo continued to hone his skills over the next 17 seasons on the Reef including five times as part of Marlin University.

In addition to the Great Barrier Reef, Bo has traveled the world’s big game fishing grounds in such places as Ghana, Madeira, Kona, Bermuda, Mexico, Hatteras, and the Gulf Coast in search of giant marlin. Bo has been fortunate to fish with some of the best captains and crews in the world including Darren ‘Biggs” Haydon, Clay Hensley, Darren Isaacs, Dean Butler, Bill and Greg Edwards, Jason Holtz, Jarad “Dingo” Boshammer, Frank Kogolegbah, Dave Cassa, Jason “Tiny”  Walcott, Billy Fairburn, Ricky Jones, Dana Boardman, Russ Housby, Johnny Uhr, Momi Bean, Joe Crawford, Tim Richardson and Bill “BC” Crawford

During his career Bo has caught over 1,900 marlin, weighed numerous granders, released even more, been involved with 10 World Records, and was recognized as Top Mate of the Year by Marlin magazine in 2008.

Bo moved to South Florida in 2009 to be more centrally located and is available to help those who want to be sure they have the best chance of landing the fish of a lifetime.

“Besides being meticulous with his tackle and being awesome on the leader, He’s one of the most entertaining guys there is when the fishing is slow. He keeps you laughing 24/7. He’s caught lots of big fish – he’s strong and has a low center of gravity so he never gets off balance. More importantly, he’s smooth and knows when you pull hard and when to let go.”
