I love swordfishing

Nick C · 10-22-2006, 07:10 PM

For the past 2 weeks all I have did was research and stuff like that and came up with a few theories and idea and little adjustments in my style of fishing.

Prooved all but one theory wrong! The tight drag on the jugs instead of freespool was the ticket! I finally kept her glued on. 1-1 fishing that way. But everything else I thought of to find to fish when the bite was dead was proved wrong.... Now for the rest of week all I'll do think of what to do and what to change. It's a like puzzle.... I like it!

Hope the weather plays nice this weekend

Sorry buddy, 1 fish with a tight drag on a jug does not proove a theory! Thats the hardest thing about this sport. Our 77'' fish was with drag reel loose, and keith gave it a 10 count, I was about to kill him he took so long, but it worked. BUT that does not mean it will always work! But keep trying new things, and always tell me about them! Ever since you got the UV/Green everything seems to be working

Fish theory's :shock: Hook fish fight fish kill or release fish go home safe. As Forrest said thats all I have to say about that

Nick, I forgot to mention, I am trying the heavier drag on float rods 2. I also like how floats keep some pressure on the line, this last fish pulled the float under and swam with it!

I have all kinds of new theory's to try out. I just need a swordfish to come into the spread and volunteer for the experiment. [-o<
I have a new piece of body piercing jewelry that I want to try out on a swordfish, it comes complete with a dangle rope that is attatched to a 36' boat. :twisted:

Yeh for real, i think i hooked every fish on a baloon my first few trips years ago, though i had it down.... after that i think i went fishless for 8 trips and now everythings back to normal haha. I think the msot important thing of alll is watching your balloons and rod tips and once you see something out of place get on it.

God knows that monkey on my back is huge because i'm on a stink for 7 trips, but those bastards keep me coimg back for more! You gotta love it. :thumright:

If there is one thing george and I never change it's how tight we fish. Over and over we have proven our method and for anyone that knows us we get'em. Tighter is better thats all I have to say.
