3/18/07 daytime sword

Broadbill-Pro · 03-18-2007, 05:15 PM

After dwelling over swordfish all last week in DC, I figured a kite and some live baits would ease my mind a bit.

Set up in 150', first sail released after 10 minutes (lifes good), make my way out to 180' and sail #2 gets released

. Things slow down for about an hour so I decided it's time for some eating fish, maybe a hoo or mahi out deep? reset in about 300', 20 minutes later a flat line goes off, my boy starts working it on 30# test, he's still bent after 30 minutes, while sail #3 gets released on another kite bait. At 1 hour now and a 60'' sword sticks it's head out, get it along side the boat and the remaining flat line goes off (WTF), has to be another since it is spooling the 30TLD, two hours later release a 300# hammerhead.

100# pumpkin in dirty green water at noon today
