Something new that Capt. Steve and I are adding to our repetoire this summer is daytime Swordfishing. 

There are many “secrets” to the daytime version of Swordfishing (it is usually done at night) but we have learned quite a few from, of all places, the internet!  Daytime Swordfishing involves dropping a properly rigged, large Squid to the bottom in 1,000 to 2,500 feet and waiting.  Daylight disappears about 400 feet down, so whether it is day or night now makes no difference :)  Another “secret” Capt. Steve figured out on his own is how to retrieve the 10 to 15 pounds needed to get your Squid to the bottom.  Sorry, if I told you, I’d have to use you instead of the Squid!
