Daytime Swordfishing in the Florida Keys- Cont.
Last month I posted about my Florida Keys daytime swordfishing excursions about the Permit out of Marathon, Florida.
Daytime swordfishing was rather new to all of us during our first few trips and though we did learn a lot, no actual fish were caught. We enticed a few hits, tore up some baits, and also acquainted ourselves with the basic swordfish rigs and bait presentation, but no trophy broadbill was hoisted through the tuna door.
I’m proud to say that this time we did better, and despite the presence of a few bananas (bananas are bad luck to have on boats), we were able to get a nice swordfish in the boat.
On our second drift of the day, this guy (estimated between 150-175 pounds) engulfed the squid and two hours later was on the deck.
Props to Permit Captain Ty Price, Captain Nick Borraccino of Marathon , and Phil Price, who fought the fish.
