Default Marathon Swordfish???

Fishing with some friends next week out of Vaca Cut and am planning on taking them nighttime swordfishing. (I know they hit as well or better during the day but its cooler at night...) Anyways I've caught them from the Offshore of the 409, east (north) but havent fished for them below that line. Am I gonna be right setting up drift offshore of the Marathon Hump or should I head back up toward Islamorada???

I'm definately interested in any responses. We're going to KCB to May, and I'm wanting to try the night time sword adventure myself. Never done that, never been there. Lots of fishing, just no swording. I didn't mean to attempt to hi-jack your thread.

Good Luck on your trip! Post some pics!

We always set up in 1800 feet, get back on top of the wall and it's shark city.
