The past two weeks have been on and off. Fished the Swordlords this past weekend with mimimum results. Fishing was very slow "barometer was low" We've had steady action besides that night with fish ranging from 75lbs. to 160lbs. Pulled one off over 200lbs. 30 minutes into the fight... Bummer... Getting most of the bites on squid 100ft. down on the far balloon right at dark! Let me know if your in town and want to go swording. We'll get tight! Captmatt@o-sea-d.com

Live Baiting is the Captain's forte. Actual fishing conditions and run of species will determine whether you will drift, slow troll, or anchor. A sea anchor is used to slow the drift and kites are used to entice the bite.
