Tuesday night 1/3

[Kevin K]

Took my mom swordin tonight. Started setting up right after the sun went down inside of the 50.. I let out my 1st bait 100 ft down and put a ballon on. I noticed the ballon came off and I was reeling it in to put a new one. I noticed a little tension. I reel ed it up to the boat grabbed the leader to check the bait. There was alot of weed around. I almost got pulled over, wrapped the leader leaned back with a 52 inch green fish in the boat. After cleaning up the mess it made, my mom insisted we go 200 yds over to wear the fish came from. I tried telling her that the fish move around. Anyway did what she said. I let another squid out and noticed the elactralume would not go down. I reeled down and almost had the rod yanked out of my hands. Got tight. Fought the fish for 30 minutes. Rod in the holder 3/4 spool gone off the 50...Mom could not keep up. Fish came off. Reset same exact numbers. Set up all rods this time. Tip gets slammed 10 minutes pulled. Need a new rig setup. winds changed west fished till 2 no more action..Thursday is my last night for a while going to seaschool 9 days straight. No swordin :cry: . Get out there boys, Its hot!!!!

You guys can have her. she pays for gas too. Just so you know my hydrowglow wasn't even set up yet on all 3 hits I can think back at my first sword I had no light too. I bought mine from Rays offshore in Boca Raton. I called hydro glow told them mine did not work they sent me one in 3 days, and a free shirt....My neighbor makes lights their 40 watt. real bright..Give me a call if your interested. 1 year warranty 561-504-6515

Hey SFLMAN i just got off the phone with the manufacture i have already had 2 repaired one caracked the housing my fault fixed it free no prob.then my other one took a crap black at the end of the bulbs called him he is shippiong me a new one Phone #1-800-801-6106. Hope this helps you so far he has been great last time i talked to them he was telling me they might offer a option of a 60 ft cord to go down deep. good luck john

Thought I was going to have better luck with the hydroglow.The thing leaked the first trip Dude at Crook and Crook helped me get credit for the magnet I will be going back to the magnet I like the way it sits under the surface and doesnt hit the side of the boat.

SFLMAN:

I tied an additional 32 oz weight to the bottom of the hydroglow and that takes it deep enough where it won't hit the side of the boat.
Just a suggestion.

K,

The above quote is from you less than a year ago, I guess you came a long way. Less than a year Swordfishing and now ready to be a Swordboat captain. Not to mention you need 360 days of experience on the water just to be a Captain.
