Epic 10-Hour Swordfish Mania Adventure
Get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime with our 10-hour Swordfish Mania adventure. This ain't your average day on the water – we're talking about going after one of the ocean's most prized game fish. Swordfish are the heavyweight champs of the sea, known for putting up a fight that'll test even the most seasoned anglers. Whether you're a pro looking for your next big challenge or a newcomer eager to learn the ropes, our expert crew's got your back every step of the way.
What to Expect on the Water
When you climb aboard for this full-day trip, you're in for a real treat. We've got top-notch gear ready to go and a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand. You'll be heading offshore where the big boys play, so expect a bit of a ride out. Once we hit our sweet spot, it's game on. Swordfish don't give up easy, so be ready for a workout. But don't worry – our team will be right there with you, offering tips, tricks, and maybe even taking over if your arms need a break. It's all about teamwork out here, and we're aiming to get you face-to-face with one of these incredible creatures.
Techniques That Land Giants
Swordfishing isn't your typical drop-a-line-and-wait game. We're talking deep-drop fishing, sometimes going down 1,500 feet or more. We use electric reels to get our baits down where the swordies hang out, but once you're hooked up, it's all hands on deck. You might be cranking for hours – these fish are known for their stamina. We'll show you how to work the rod, when to reel, and when to just hold on for dear life. And let's not forget about the other species we might tangle with along the way. From mahi-mahi skipping across the surface to wahoo screaming off line, there's never a dull moment out here.
Top Catches This Season
While we don't have specific customer stories to share, our trips have been absolutely on fire lately. Anglers have been coming back to the dock with grins wider than a whale shark's mouth, talking about epic battles with swordfish that lasted hours. Some folks have even landed their personal best, with swords topping 300 pounds. It's not just about size though – the thrill of finally seeing that bill break the surface after a long fight is something you've got to experience to believe.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Swordfish: These bad boys are the main event. Swordfish can grow over 1,000 pounds, though most we catch are in the 100-300 pound range. They're deep dwellers, hanging out in cooler waters during the day and coming up to feed at night. What makes them so special? For starters, they're one of the fastest fish in the sea, able to clock speeds up to 50 mph. Plus, they've got that iconic bill – a literal sword – which they use to slash at their prey. When you hook one, be ready for a fight that could last hours. They're known for their powerful runs and deep dives, often going straight down when hooked. The best time to target them is year-round, but night fishing during the full moon can be especially productive.
Blackfin Tuna: Don't let their smaller size fool you – blackfins are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish out there. These speed demons usually range from 15 to 30 pounds and travel in schools. They're known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. Blackfins are a blast on lighter tackle and make for some of the best sashimi you'll ever taste. We often find them around floating debris or over underwater structures.
King Mackerel: Also known as "kingfish," these toothy critters are the sprinters of the sea. They can grow up to 100 pounds, but most we catch are in the 15-40 pound range. Kings are famous for their smoking first run – blink and you might see your spool emptied. They've got razor-sharp teeth, so we always use wire leaders. Fall is prime time for big kings, but we catch them year-round.
Mahi Mahi: Also called dorado or dolphinfish, mahi are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. They're known for their vibrant colors – electric blues, greens, and yellows that seem to shift and shimmer. Mahi are incredible acrobats, often leaping and tail-walking across the surface when hooked. They're also one of the fastest-growing fish, which means they're an excellent sustainable choice for the dinner table. We find them around floating sargassum weed lines or debris.
Wahoo: If you want to see your line peel off at lightning speed, hope for a wahoo. These streamlined speedsters are built for velocity, with some of the fastest recorded speeds of any fish in the ocean. They're not just fast – they're smart too. Wahoo are known for their tricky runs, often doubling back or diving deep to try and shake the hook. Their meat is highly prized, with a mild flavor that's excellent for grilling or sashimi.
Time to Book Your Spot
Look, if you're itching for a fishing adventure that'll get your heart racing and your arms burning, this Swordfish Mania trip is calling your name. We're not just offering a day on the water – we're giving you a shot at landing the fish of a lifetime. Our crew's got the know-how, the gear, and the determination to put you on the fish. And even if the swordies aren't cooperating, we've got plenty of other hard-fighting species to keep your rods bent. With room for up to 6 anglers, it's perfect for a group of buddies or the family that fishes together. Just remember, these trips fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. So if you're ready to test your mettle against some of the ocean's toughest fighters, don't wait. Give us a call, lock in your date, and get ready for a fishing story you'll be telling for years to come. Trust me, once you feel that first run from a big sword, you'll be hooked for life.
Learn more about the species
Blackfin Tuna
Swordfish are the ultimate deep-sea challenge. These powerful predators average 9 feet long and 400 pounds, but can reach a whopping 15 feet and over 1,000 pounds. They're built for speed, hitting 40-60 mph in open water. You'll find them in warm ocean waters year-round, hanging out 300-1500 feet deep. Swordfish are night hunters, so we often target them after dark. We use heavy tackle - 80-120 pound line, big hooks, and bright lures to catch their eye in the depths. Squid is the go-to bait, but chunks of other fish work too. What makes swordfish special is the fight. When you hook one, be ready for an epic battle that can last hours. It takes skill, patience, and teamwork to land these giants. The payoff is huge though - not just the thrill, but also some of the best-tasting seafood you'll ever have. My top tip: Watch for bites when your bait hits bottom, then again as you reel up. Swordfish often strike on the drop or rise.
King Mackerel
Wahoo are speed demons of the open ocean. These sleek, striped fish can hit 60 mph, making them one of the fastest in the sea. They typically run 4-5 feet long but can reach over 8 feet and 180 pounds. You'll find wahoo in warm waters worldwide, often near the surface down to about 60 feet deep. They love hanging around floating debris and structures. In our area, July to November is prime wahoo season. Catching wahoo is all about the chase. We troll fast, usually 12-15 knots, with wire leaders to handle those razor-sharp teeth. Minnow lures and skirted ballyhoo are top producers. When a wahoo hits, hold on tight - the initial run is explosive. Anglers love wahoo for the high-speed action and the excellent eating. The meat is firm, white, and mild - perfect for grilling or sashimi. Pro tip: If you see flying fish scattering, there's a good chance wahoo are hunting below. That's when we speed up and zigzag to trigger strikes.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi-mahi, also called dorado, are the beauty queens of the offshore world. Their electric blue, green, and gold colors are stunning, especially right out of the water. Most run 3-4 feet long, but they can top 6 feet and 80 pounds. You'll spot mahi near the surface, often around floating weeds or debris. They're warm water fish, so we find them offshore from spring through fall. Mahi travel in schools, so where there's one, there's usually more. These acrobatic fish put on a show when hooked, leaping and tail-walking across the water. Light tackle makes the fight even more fun. We often use live bait like pilchards, but mahi will hit just about any lure or fly that looks like a small fish. Mahi are prized for both sport and food. The meat is firm, mild, and versatile - great for tacos, grilling, or searing. Here's a local secret: When you hook one mahi, leave it in the water. The rest of the school will often stay close, giving you shots at multiple fish.
Swordfish
Blackfin tuna are the pocket rockets of the tuna world. They're small compared to their cousins, usually 2-3 feet long and 15-30 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in speed and fight. You'll find blackfin in warm offshore waters, often feeding near the surface. They school up around structure like oil rigs or floating debris. Here, we catch them year-round, but spring and fall are peak seasons. These tuna are a blast on light tackle. We often chum them up, then cast live baits or small jigs into the frenzy. When hooked, blackfin make blistering runs and dive deep, testing your gear and skills. Anglers prize blackfin for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. The meat is dark red and rich - perfect for searing rare or eating as sashimi. Here's a local tip: Watch for birds diving on bait schools. That often means blackfin are feeding below, giving you a shot at both surface and deep jigging action.
Wahoo Fish
King mackerel, or kingfish, are the speedsters of the coast. These sleek, silver missiles can stretch over 5 feet long and top 50 pounds. They're built for speed, with razor teeth and a streamlined body. Kings roam the open water, usually within a few miles of shore. We find them from 20 to 150 feet deep, often near reefs or wrecks. Late summer and fall are prime kingfish seasons here, when big schools move through. Trolling is the go-to method for kings. We pull spoons or live baits like blue runners at a good clip. When a king hits, get ready for smoking runs and acrobatic jumps. Light tackle makes the fight even more exciting. Anglers love kings for their aggressive strikes and hard-fighting style. They're also excellent eating when prepared right - try them smoked or in fish dip. One trick I've learned: Kings often short-strike baits, so use a stinger hook rig to improve your hookup ratio.
