Default Swordfish

Any advise on swordfish this time of year? Thinking of maybe around the Spur. Has anyone here tried swordfish out of Perdido/mobile lately? Thanks

I would also like to know what is going on. We are thinking of leaving friday early afternoon and spending the night either at the rigs or over towards the dumping grounds. I do believe that I have always heard the swordfishing is better around the steps and rigs this time of year.
Thanks,
Maclin
