Watsup everybody. I have posted here a few times and am always lurking and admiring the photos. I am looking to learn exactly how to swordfish and run the waters over there on the east coast at night and such. I have never been on the water over there and am cautious to take my boat over and try to run at night in unfamiliar waters.

I have been researching how to do it for the past year or so and have a general idea but I would like to experience it first hand and get some pointers from those that have been there and done it before I trailer my boat over from Naples and attempt to do it myself.

I don't even want to be the angler I just want to help out, do whatever needs done, tie rigs, clean the boat, whatever. I can afford to chip in on gas, buy beer, and would love to clean the boat and do whatever needs done. I just want to learn and have some first hand on the water experience before I go over and attempt to do it on my own.

I have an Avet TRX 50w spooled with 135# Jerry Brown Hollow Core on a custom rod I built, and a braid belt I could contribute to the cause as well.

So if anyone is willing to let me tag along I would very much appreciate it and would contribute with anything possible. So let me know, I'll be there in two hours if need be ready to go.
