I was warned, but I went anyway. Took a trip on the Dark Side a few weeks ago. Went 1 for 1 on my first trip (52") with a complete rookie crew, including myself ! Went 0 for 1 on the second. Never fished for Swords before, only Yellow fin Tuna's. Now I have a new addiction to cope with. Anybody have the # for the Betty Ford Swordfish hot line ? I have monitored this site for a week now, decided to jump in, nothin to loose and everything to learn. We ran out of Ft. Pierce to the grounds off Stuart, kind of a long way to go in the dark. I would appreciate any info on Swording off Ft. Pierce thru Sebastian. I understand they live here too, but not as plentifull as the Southern waters. I will do most of my fishing on Friday or Saturday nights, and will keep an eye on this site to find any friendly boats fishing my same area. Keep the good info flowing, I need all the tips I can get. :shock:
