Along with the big tuna and wahoo we have found the swordfish bite to get red hot this time of year. Like everything else, they are typically big! A plus sized swordfish will give any fish we catch a run for it’s money. We hook them in deep water and they will often shoot straight to the surface, jump, then head back to the bottom just as fast. They are a force to be reckoned with!
2021 has already started strong. We have checked multiple species off the list in the first month of fishing including big tuna, wahoo, swordfish, and even a mako shark. As we move into February the lump is beginning to fire...

The tuna fishing is pretty good. But it's a quick bite and then it's over. If you haven't caught them by noon they are done for day. Capitalizing on all bites has been real important. The fish have been a...
