Deep Drop

Deep dropping for swordfish

Some reports will come soon with some great fishing. Just want to share our first deep dropping fishing day of the season to target swordfish.

Last Sunday, sea condition was perfect to deep drop a big squid. Since the beginning of my season, I am looking for some spots to target swordfish on day time in deep water (500 m depth).

I have planned this fishing day at the last minute with my friend Shane from US, who is a crazy fisherman for swordfish. On the first spot and the first drop, we had a big bite but after few minutes of intense fight, we sadly lost the fish (hook off).

As you can see on the picture the bent of the 80lb class rod can give you an idea of the kind of fish we are looking for... We will keep you update in our next exploratory deep dropping days in the search of a big swordfish
