Default Keys DARKSIDE!!!?????!!!

Ok. Where would be a good starting point fishing out of Islamorada(channel 2 bridge)?
At night, are the guys drifting over the humps or are they on woods wall or whatever the heck that wall is out there.
Heading down tomorrow night and am planning on doing a Sword trip while I'm down there.
Any info would be great!

BTW, At night... not that day time stuff!


Thanks!

Sorry dude, you would be wasting your time to go at night.
Don't you know they only bite during the day down there?

Nick,

If the weather is good enough to make the run, I would consider Floyds Wall first. Many of the guys who fish the Islamorada Swordfish Tournament fish that area. Floyds Wall is about a 30 mile run out and spans about 20 miles from SW-NE. The numbers are SW end 24'27".20 / 80'25".20 and the NE end is 24'41".20 / 80'14".00. The depth begins to fall at the 1550' spanning a 2 mile width to 2500'. Someplaces are more gradual and some have much sharper grades to them.

You can try The Rips just NE of Marathon Hump and are in @ 900-1100'. You could try the different humps but with the full moon waning only 4 days, you might have better luck searching the deeper waters.
