Guys are trying this stuff here, but no one has landed them yet. A few big mystery fish and lots of giant squidded baits.
This nostalgia is awesome. I completely jealous of you OLD guys.
A bit of inspiration for me has been my buddy Boldwater explaining the Port Canaveral, FL Swordfishing history.
The story goes like this....
The guys in PC were just like us thinking that good numbers of swords are only caught in Miami and South. They tried and tried the South Fl tactics with little success and just wrote if off for many years.
Many years later, some guys figured out if they fish at different depths and use slightly different rigging, they can hook these fish CONSISTANTLY.
Now there are many guys in PC that get swordys on a regular basis.
According to many experts, we have MORE and BIGGER Swordies here than many places in Florida.
I just think we need to crack the code to getting them to bite. A lot of guys think it will be a daytime deep drop tactic and a lot of guys think it's nighttime trolling.
I'm not sure, but I do know we have a lot of big swords here and they have to be eating a lot to get to that size. We just need to figure out how to get a bait in front of them when they are HUNGRY.
Someone will crack the code here sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.
Go get them.
