Here is Capt Mark’s Report – Enjoy – Images to Adhere to
He’s Working a Personal Ritchie Howell for A Couple Months This Winter months

Friday morning dawns even now as predicted and we set off in research of wahoo. We use the regular higher speed set up and right after a few hrs have absolutely nothing to show for it. We collectively choose that the trolling weights never search purely natural and it just will not feel proper trolling at twelve-15 knots, so we slow down and go to a a lot more regular disperse that we would pull at home. Shortly thereafter we get two flatline and one particular rigger bites, coming restricted on two. Jimmy and Lou land their first wahoo and substantial fives adhere to. We stop up the day likely six for eleven on the wahoo and including a Blackfin tuna to the blend. As the sunlight gets very low in the sky, we begin hunting about for prime bottom to set out the sword pass on. We set the pass on and wait around about 50 percent an hour when the lines start off to cross. I selected up the rod to transfer it around and experience the “tap, tap” of a sword then slack. I reel like hell and come restricted and the fight begins. Lou is up and lands his 1st sword fairly speedily , a nice 55” fish. We get another shark bite , then another sword, releasing yet another keeper about the same size as the first. The bites proceed with yet another shark, a missed sword, then a great hookup around four:15am. I get my opportunity on the rod and boat a great 170 lb sword in about 20 minutes. We make a decision to finish up the trip with a little bottom fishing and catch a good mixed bag of snapper, grouper, AJ’s and a really great African Pompano, releasing almost everything except the pompano.

Sunday dawns stunning and we set off in lookup of wahoo once again. We discover the bites , but pull a bunch of hooks only landing one particular hoo. With the sunshine obtaining very low, we make a decision to overthink points and go to a diverse sword spot that appears even better on the charts. We get set up and invest four hrs with one shark bite and one particular Blackfin tuna prior to we decide to go back to exactly where we had fished two evening previously. We get set out and start off the wait around. We needed to fish a deep bait with the total moon, so we set out the LP1200 electric as the 400 foot rod. About 12:thirty am the line will start burning off the reel and we get started what would turn out to be the most epic battle any of us have actually noticed. The fish showed alone after only 20 minutes or so , coming to the surface area slashing its enormous sword and jumping as soon as. It then made the decision it did not like what it saw on the surface and sounded. We viewed the line counter on the reel commence its descent, not stopping until finally the sword was at 1300 ft. For the following 3 hrs we battled it out with the fish between 1000-1400 feet and exhibiting no indicators of slowing down. We began incorporating a lot more drag hoping to bust the swords will, bit it would not budge. I started incorporating strain with my gloved hand and really little by little we commenced to obtain foot by foot. By the 6 hr mark we had the fish in a couple of hundred ft of the boat but exhaustion was setting in and the gear was turning out to be a stress. With no option we ongoing adding drag and ongoing attaining line. By the 7 hr mark we ended up finding the fifty foot topshot on the reel. The topshot was on and off the reel at minimum a dozen occasions but we ended up slowly gaining. By now the sunlight was up and the swivel eventually breaks the surface area. We achieve for the excess weight but its just out of attain. As the fish circles we are seeking correct at it and ready to harpoon but it takes back a small line. We perform it near once again and are acquiring prepared for the harpoon shot when the fish decides to flip and burn up. As she takes off the top shot flies off the reel and the braid explodes as it clears the rod .. the fish is gone. One particular of the toughest losses I have ever had, but at the same time a modest smile on my face as I know that fish swims absent strongly and we have something to shoot for.

The following day with just a few of us on the boat and becoming tired , we plan for two guys up and one particular sleeping on rotation. Inside minutes I see a bite on the deep rod and we are restricted .. its not even dark yet and its gameplay on . Fish cooperates and we have number one sword of the evening on deck at 58” … we reset and get started the wait. It will not take long and we are tight once more. This continues and by 1am we are 7 for 8 and really very low on bait. I am using a nap when Jimmy comes in and wakes me to say he popped a hamstring hoping to net a flying fish. He is in a good deal of pain and is formally out of commission but insists we maintain fishing. I make the call to fish till four:thirty or so, so that we will have some light coming in the inlet. I lay back again down and leave Lou on watch. At all around 2:15 he announces we are restricted when yet again and he and I go to function with Jimmy coaching us on from the sofa in the salon. We make great progress and have shade in 25 minutes or so .. we unclip the fat and get leader in hand … I sink the poon and we have the fish safe. Lou and I determine to pull her more than the transom and I guess adrenaline had kicked in because we pulled her over and were really stunned to see she was 78 inches in the 270 lb class. We commenced cleaning up as we had utilised up all our bait, ending fishing ahead of 3am with my greatest evening of swordfishing actually under my belt likely eight for 9 on swords. All in all a excellent trip for absolutely everyone … with a night time of slumber , I am chomping at the little bit for the wind to lay out and get on the sword grounds once more.
