Hanna,

I am also looking for a parchute anchor, but damn they are expensive. I did a charter a few months back and the guy used it perfection. I might have to bite the bullet...

We chartered Capt Panos out of halover. We went 3-4, one being 120lbs. and released the other 2. Exciting and I have been catching them every since.

I wish they would have some tournaments that a reasonably priced.

We are also heading out tonight and a couple more times towards the end of the week. I will be on the 50 off Hillboro most of the night. We bought a few rigged squid, but sounds like the live bait is where its at now. I can't wait

1st time posting on this forum. I was out last night with Launch'em and
Wino on the Drunken Lizard. We caught a 89 lbr on the 51 line. The
sword hit a blue runner right in th light of the hydroglow when Wino was checking the deep bait. The sword had 30 squid in its belly.Perfect night last nite; just enough wind to keep the boat drifting straight. cheers, arthur

I will be out there also somewhere along the 50.. I love the new moon... I usually only fish 1 squid but after seeing this picture in the gallery I might have to add a few more, one of the forum member caught him last night and this is what they found:



I'll listen for you guys on 72...

Had a nice trip on Tuesday night, very early bites. As soon as the sun was going down, the moon was up and getting ready to set, we missed the early bite and found an 80 lb sword about 130 am. He ate a dead Bonita on the tip rod. We saw a Mako go airborn just as we were passing a boat that had their lines out, he was on one of their lines and had cut himself off according to the boater. That was right at sunset. It is nice to be a part of it all. Nice night overall out front of FT. Lauderdale.
