sword bite?

imported_Anonymous · 11-17-2003, 01:29 PM

I have been up in tallahasse attending school since august and haven't been down to fish in about a month. I am coming home this weekend and plan on making a few trips. i was wondering how the bite was doing if anyone has been going, and if anyone is going to give it a shot this weekend.[/b]

Swordy08, Are you in school up at FSU? You're name isn't jason is it?

Anyways, The bite has been great! Most anglers are catching a fish a night when the weather permits. Hopefully we will get some calmer weather when you come down. But most of the bites have been on live bait, although I suggest putting atleast 1 squid out there.

There is a front hitting us tomorrow that is dropping us to the 60's. So we are looking for the swords to find our warmer water out there.. along with the great reef fishing for the winter grind.

Catch em up!

imported_Anonymous · 11-17-2003, 02:05 PM

no im not jason but yea im attendin fsu for now, i cant take being away from the water though, plus i am gettin a new boat here in a few weeks so i will probably transfer back down to fau. sounds like the bites been good thanks alot, looking forward to catchin a couple, maybe even get a little sail bite if its cooling down. thanks

Mike · 11-17-2003, 02:32 PM

Ya the swordfishing is looking great, and the strong winds have kept most boats away from the fish, so the boats that get out there are getting them and you can see that in the 350lb fish on the home page...

Sailfishing is also out of hand right now and will be fantastic for the 3 day tournament this weekend.

imported_Anonymous · 11-17-2003, 03:20 PM

sounds good. i was going to enter the billfish but coudnt get a team together. so have you been out getting the big ones or the winds keepin you in? i heard of one night like 3 or 4 boats landing one over 200lbs. thats unheard of. i never heard of a night like that. well im looking forward to hookin up no matter if its a little pup or his daddy. just need to get out on the water.

Hey guys, my neighbor was out on saturday night in the rough stuff and and went 1 for 4 not inclduing cut baits.

He landed a 55incher and lost the others all on live bait. He said a guy reported a 66 inch fish the same time he landed his.

Lets get out there..!

imported_Anonymous · 11-17-2003, 04:28 PM

Swordy if you used to work at Lauderdale Marina i think i saw you up in FSU a few weeks ago. I was walking through the mall up there and i saw someone that looked like you. You told me where to go on my first sword trip this last summer. Ever since then i have been hooked.

imported_Anonymous · 11-17-2003, 04:55 PM

No, thats not me but i used to fish with a kid that worked there. jp freeman and he used to go out for a while. i havent talked to him in a while but that could be him. glad that you found out where to go and your another addict to catchin these fish. i can't wait till i get down im gonna go everynight that the weather permits. so you boys better catch 'em up while you can hahaha. good luck out there

Tim · 11-17-2003, 05:05 PM

We'll be catchin em alright. I have had the itch for the past couple weeks.. Damn weather after the boat show is always crazy...

swordie.. are you a member here?? i was going to send a private message...

imported_Anonymous · 11-17-2003, 06:22 PM

yea i am a member here my name is swordy08 with just one 0 but it wont let me post in the room for some reason keeps sayin invalid session. i dont kno why so i post as a guest. you can send privates to the swordy08 if you want though i check it often.

imported_Anonymous · 11-18-2003, 10:25 AM

a buddy of mine was drifting in the day and hooked up with 2 swordies off of miami. i didnt believe him but he got it on video, a sight to see, but anyways i am thinkin about goin out real early on day and droppin 'em to like 600ft and see if i cant get one in the day. it may sound stupid but better than sitting at home, if anything i will fish pilchies while im out there and get some dolphin until real swordy time. what do ya boys think

Tim · 11-18-2003, 01:52 PM

I don't think it will hurt. If you look in the gallery, someone got a swordie jumping in broad daylight in 160ft. I have been out to the swordgrounds and found them on the surface basking in the sun.. I'm not sure if they feed during the day or what.. but its worth a shot. Sounds better than killing a bunch of 3lb schoolies

I actually saw one up on the surface during the day as well. Had to be at least 400lbs, just basking in the sun. As soon as we got within about 100 yards of the fish though, it went crazy and headed straight down. Still made a day of dolphin fishing interesting thought...

imported_Anonymous · 11-21-2003, 12:03 PM

Looks like its calming down for monday and tuesday

is anyone going to venture out? if so i will see you boys on the water. catch 'em up

hannaman · 11-21-2003, 03:02 PM

I will be out on Tuesday night, it has been to long since my last trip with the weather and all, but we are heading out no matter what, I hope.

imported_Anonymous · 11-22-2003, 07:03 PM

Alright hannaman see you on the water i would give you a boat name to chat but im not sure what boat i will be fishing yet. but good luck and catch em up

I'll be out there monday night!!! Anyone out there call up on the radio...we'll be on 72

swigg11 · 11-24-2003, 01:37 AM

Gotta say, this is a great site. I am really impressed. Anyway, I am relatively new to the sport, but hooked none the less. I have fished off Hillsboro Inlet a little but this week I think we are going to give it a shot off Stuart depending on the conditions. Does anybody have any advice on fishing this area? Thanks in advance and keep those lines tight.

Tim · 11-24-2003, 09:17 AM

HEY SWIG..will you be swordfishing or sailfishing???There are a couple guys up in stauart that frequently swordfish that come on this site. I have also fished in stuart. I am not sure exactly where the line is to start you drift up there... but find that out and then setup your drift just as explained in the rigging section of this site. The bite is great in the winter time, mostly because most people are sailfishing right now.. We'll get em!!!

Keep us updated.

swigg11 · 11-24-2003, 01:27 PM

Hey Tim, we mostly fish for the typical mahi, cobia, sailfish, etc. and just recently have started to experiment with swordfishing. So this week, we will hopefully be doing a little of both. We're keepin the fingers crossed that we hook into a big guy.
