50 line What is it?

Fishalways · 09-21-2006, 11:43 AM

Ok this might be an obvious question but what is the 50 line, or as iv'e seen some places the 50/50 line?

I'm still getting my gear together, not going to happen this weekend but hopefully in two weeks I'll get out there.

the longitude line

Shark Tagger · 09-21-2006, 12:32 PM

yep. pikc your self up a swordfishing chart on this site.. you will see the 50 line clearly.

Next time your out look at your GPS and you will get the hang of it.

JahMussa · 09-21-2006, 12:45 PM

These are GPS lat and long numbers which have been abreviated.

W 79 50 00
N 25 50 00

Uncle Buck · 09-21-2006, 12:50 PM

Quick lesson:

50-line is what we call the w79.50 longitude line, which is about 12 nautical miles from the beach. This applies mostly to the area from Miami to Boynton. The number increases as you get closer to land (it's actually a negative number, -80.00 is near the beach. The negative is the distance west of the 00.00, which I think is Greenwich, England)

50/50 is the n25.50 and w79.50. I think that's off Hollywood, but I haven't fished that far south to know for sure.

Fishing inside/outside is where we are in relation to the w79.50 line.

definition: 50 line -

1. area where overpaid, cigar smoking, cacausion males gather to reinforce their masculinity.

2. area where swordfish gather to make cacausion males look foolish.

3. area where millions of dollars and hours are spent hiding from the wife.

4. area seen from the moon that has unusual glow at night.

1.b. area where extremely underpaid, usually broke, caucasion males hitch rides with cigar-smoking males to get our asses handed to us by catfish with sticks on there noses

Not to be a trouble maker but, Do you guys think it is a good idea to endorse a Sword trip by a guy that does not know what the 50 line is?

Another Grand · 09-21-2006, 03:39 PM

The definition of the 50 line depends who you fish with on a particular evening
