Sword Fishing
Day Time or Night Time Sword Fishing Trips –
Swordfish are the king of the billfish class. Like shark fishing on steroids! Sword fishing can be done in a lot of ways with many different kinds of baits. They most commonly live in 1,200 to 3,000ft of water. The guided fishing trips we offer for sword fishing can be booked for daytime or nighttime. These sea monsters average from 90-200lbs but can grow upwards of 600+lbs. The average fight time is 45 minutes up to 2 hrs. We use all stand up fishing tackle with a standup fishing harness while battling these tough hard fighting fish. Along with a great fight, Swordfish are awesome to eat; they are the white tuna of the Gulf.
16, 18, or 24 Hour Trips
Our daytime sword fishing trips usually depart at 3:00am returning that evening around 7:00pm. The initial ride out to the sword fishing grounds is 80 miles and this usually takes about three hours. We also offer late afternoon departures on our 16 or 18 hour trips (if available) for night time fishing. On the 24-hour trip we will daytime and night time fish. The departure time for the 24-hour trip will vary.
