Home Forums Fishing Saltwater Swordfish in North West Florida

Fishing for swords in the daylight has changed, their resting grounds are becoming more apparent and the techniques are getting tuned so success has been decent. We caught this one last week, hooked up about 10 minutes after the first drop, got it in the boat 45 minutes later. Second drop we hooked up after 20 minutes, fish was on for about 5 minutes and broke off. Appears some tangling occurred and the braid cut through the leader. Fished for 3 more hours without a bite.
