I have also never swordfished in the keys but do fish there often but in key largo. There was a post a month or two ago abouth swordfishing in Key Largo. I think it was from "Canyon Runner" or something but he said there are some humps right off ocean reef club in Key Largo that hold swords. Probably too far north for you but you might want to try to talk to that guy. Let me know how you do because Im anxious to try swording in the keys.
