Hi all

I am new on the forum and have a new boat, I was introduced to Sword Fishing by Capt Norm Welter a few years back went two for two and should have never went out. Seas were 6 to 8 and gusting to 30 knots.

Anyway hope to learn some skills from all of you and see you out there.

I fish out of Port Everglades.

Well, Howdie Doodie. Kick back for a spell at the shady rest cyber-shop. Your home away from home while you're at home. Ņo.

Be careful about what you read at this site. You may learn a trick or two. Then you will become hopelessly addicted. Your wife will leave you, unless she has patience in excess of your line capacity.

Let's hear some good stuff from you when get up to speed and have some tales to tell.

Welcome aboard, Pardner. irat:

I think you can troll if you want to try something different and you don't like sitting still. Otherwise, drift away me brother :lol:
