Deep sea fishing charters
Deep sea fishing charters are the ultimate experience for any avid fisherman or adventure seeker. These charters offer the opportunity to venture out into the open ocean and fish in some of the most abundant and diverse fishing grounds in the world. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, these charters cater to all levels of fishing expertise. The charters provide all the necessary equipment and gear, including top-of-the-line fishing rods, reels, bait, and tackle.
Deepdrop for Swordfish
The swordfish grounds are anywhere from 25-45 miles from Port de la Rague. Being that distance we only offer FULL DAY charters when targeting swordfish. The typical run to the swordfish grounds is an hour to an hour and a half. We fish in 1400-1900′ of water along the continental shelf. We use both electric and conventional reels, so it's completely up to you on what sort of tackle we use that day. We fish 1 – 2 rods down near the bottom while drifting in current. We fish between 6-12 lbs of lead on the rig depending on how much current we have that day. A lot of times we have a flat line out with a smaller bait and certain times of year (late spring through early fall) mahi are a common bycatch while waiting for a swordfish bite. Most of the time when a swordfish strikes the bait the rod tip only bounces an inch! There is a lot of line out with a very long leader, so seeing the initial bite and reacting to it is very important! We may take the bait away from the fish to make him more aggressive or we may drop it back to try to feed him. Hooking and landing a swordfish can be tricky!
