How big are you? My boat is a 20' Blackman, so not so big.
I don't have a vagina, but can wear a shirt with a wizard's sleeve and rub some chum on my arm.

They'll make any lure work. I have some of the Moldcraft glow in the dark wide range lures. The glow doesn't last very long, so you have to constantly retrieve and recharge in the spreader light. The Transformers are a better solution. Trolling at 7 knots at night takes a crew. Need to avoid running through kelp paddies, clean the lures, etc. Can't do that solo. Most crew I've had out falls asleep.

Try a buzzer to buzzer trolling session and you will hit the wall at sometime during the night. Pick calm, balmy warm summer nights. The star show is beautiful.  | |

Note: I did not say cum on my arm.
Edit: Just realize this is experimental fishing and not filling the boat with small tuna or such.

Ya from what it sounds like. Swordfish is a hit or miss ordeal. I expect on catching anything, but it is a oppertunity!

The comercial fishing in san diego back in the 80's killed the population. At least according to my father who is a comercial fisherman and helped kill allot of thoose fish.
But, they are still there, just not as much.

Tom,
How many broadbill did Mike Callan and Ted Naftzger have each?
Their span of sword-catching years was roughly 1955 to 1995, correct?
In your opinion was anybody better than those two for ROD AND REEL swords in the post-WW2 era?
