Default Sunday night!

Was my 6th trip in a row with out a bite . Started out with a few day drops and tried out my buddy's "Cranky" for innovated fishing tackle.... That worked for about 10' before a piece of it snapped off . As night fell we fished the 50.3 out to the 49.5 from just north of the port almost back to Boca without a sniff.


Thought I heard Carbon Copy say he caught an 83"er saturday on the radio...

I am on a similar run Nick. Persistence will pay off. Good luck!!

Luis, by the way, not only swords but big sharks like your baits too.

No swording saturday, just a mess of kings and 7 or 8 mutts.
