The biggest Swordfish caught in the tournament held down there a month or so ago was 324# and caught off the 800-1100' dropoff at Careysfort Reef.

I fish the N. Key Largo- Elliot Key area and do very well.

You dont have to go south if you are located in Key Largo.

There is plenty of good water in the upper keys.

I live there and have done well off ocean reef.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
