Port Everglades 1/6 - 1/7/07

christopherkeene9 · 01-07-2007, 07:22 PM

We drove down from Orlando on Saturday. Picked up baits from Nick C on the way down and splashed at 1200. Shot through the inlet and set-up for a dolphin troll until lines in. Got one hooked and jumped 4 times until we had a tack mal-function, if anyone finds a 'phin with a hook send it back please!

We set-up on the 50/50 line at around 1900ft.

We picked up and reset around 1930. As were are tieing on the last jug we notice a blue light on the surface. we clear the lines and come tight on the fish after a minor tangle on another line

Landed our first fish at around 2000, his first

Taped out at 52" LJFL/67#, Fish #9 of the Tourney!

We then re-set upstream of our last hook-up and the first line down we see our blue light on the surface again. I suit up and come tight on my first!!!
In came a 49"LJFL/50#, for fish #20. We came for meat so we kept it.

Nothing for the rest of the night except 2 dolphin that showed up/hooked but then put the BIGGEST tangle known to man in our swordlines

. Of course that got broke off after 3 attempts of handlining them from 40ft. down. Dolphin just didn't want to be caught by us today

After that it really started picking up to a 4-6 foot swell that were becoming tighter by the set.

After fixing an electrical problem we ran in.

I'd call that a successful trip!!! have you fish for swords in fort lauderale before? thats awesome to come down here and get 2 keepers.

Never fished for swords down there! Only twice up here, once out of Port Canaveral and the second out of Sebastian Inlet, both about a 60nm run! Nice being able to see the city while swordin'!

Yeah Mon! Got the flu pretty bad! May have to wait for a while on another run. Our freezer is just about completely stuffed with all kinds of fish.
