Left Wild Dunes at 10pm on 7/2…Lines in around midnight for swords…No action all night until I started rigging baits at 5am…and the 500ft rod starting slowly clickin. After an hour long fight boated a 101 lb sword. Started trolling about 30 mins later and had a nice sailfish boatside within 15 mins of trolling. Pushed inshore for a while with no bites then caught a 43lb wahoo then a 20 lb wahoo a short time later. Ended the day w/ a little slinger. Solid 1st overnighter for Chasin Bills.
RWL, he was most likely deeper than 500’ since swords aren’t usually bottom dwellers. One bait was down 500’, maybe another @ 700’ possibly staggered for different thermoclines. That’s how we used to do it anyway.
