Swordfish - The Hull Truth

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

Going tomorrow, I hope, and give them a shot along with tuna and that fish with that stick on his face....

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

We plan to back away from the Marlin or Beer can,and drift on the chute dropping about 500' to 750' with break away weights.We have caught a few in the past this way.Good luck...
