How the day fishes

A full day dedicated to broadbill swordfish on the deep drop. Danny fishes the local swordfish grounds with rigged baits sent deep, often more than 1,000 feet down, then watches the rod for the bite and the long fight to the boat. All deep drop gear, rods, reels and rigged baits are included.

Patience fishing with the biggest payoff of the year. When the drift goes quiet, bluefin swim the same water in fall and winter.
