Swordfishing Charter from Ft. Lauderdale Description
Swordfishing in Fort Lauderdale is only a one hour run to the most fertile grounds off the Southeast coast. It will definitely put you in the zone.
Nighttime fishing
The techniques employed include drifting in the Gulf Stream current with a variety of dead squid and live bait. The spread ranges from 500 feet depths to surface baits. Generally, you'll fish a spread of 5-6 lines depending on wind and current. A Hydro glow light is used to illuminate the water and attract their attention. While waiting for a bite there is an abundance of life that is attracted to the lights as well, including Squid, Mackerel, Flying Fish, Dolphin, and often the intended quarry. When that Swordfish takes the bait, there isn't any rush in the world to match it. Swordfish are famous for taking brutal runs and intense dives.
Daytime fishing
Daytime swordfishing is a recent trend off the Florida coast for many local sport fisherman, especially in Fort Lauderdale. Swordfish are primarily night feeders, but it seems as if daytime swordfishing is only getting better and bigger fish are being caught off of Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
Similar to Nighttime Swordfishing, the boat runs 14-16 miles off the coast of Fort Lauderdale to the middle of the Gulf Stream current and fish in depths of 800 feet -1,800 feet. Yet, it is totally different from nighttime swordfishing. You'll only fish one rod on the bottom with surface baits for by-catch. There is also a great chance of hooking a Marlin while you're deep sea fishing offshore during the day. Manual or electric reels depending on your preference - just remember that bait is a long way down and it's more than likely you'll be passing the rod to your buddies!
