Swords on the Spur

Lucky Dawg · 07-09-2008, 12:30 PM

I am heading out Fri night looking for swords on the spur. I hope the water cleans up some. If anyone see blue water out there let me know.

no telling what water will look like. My buddy did pick 2 Swords up at Squiggles last weekend, only 1 legal size.

We're headed out to the Spur Friday morning. I plan on trolling then drifting for swordies Friday night. If you call me on 16, I'll let you know what we've seen trolling. Hopefully, there is some blue water this side of Cuba.

I'll give you a call. We probably won't leave Destin pass til 5:30. Work gets in the way of fishing sometimes. Do you answer to Sir Reel?

Unless you are swording only, I wouldn't roll to the spur. It was Chocolate milk a few days ago. Looking on HIltons & Ripcharts, it doesnt look much better now. Good luck and let me know what you find...

From what I have been hearing, it looks bad, but unfortunately this is when my free time is letting me get out. At least the weather looks good.

Bluewater is85 miles south of the nipple. Best bet ishit the rigs for tuna right now.

We have hooked swords for four consecutive trips in a row now. I'd say its worth it if this is the only time you've got to fish.

I'm like you. I can only go when I can go. Our Boat name is Sir Reel. I'll be listening for the call. We did catch a 70# escolar several weeks ago, and went 0 for 1 two weeks ago in dingy water.

Sir Reel, Did you eat that escolar? I've heard of people eating them but I'm curious if you have any kind of direct opinion on food quality.
