Good talking with you out there on Saturday. Did you catch any kings on the spot I told you about?

Otay, care to give me an approximate location? I’m planning to give them a shot out of Murrells Inlet one day soon and would appreciate any help. (And before some internet smartass pipes up, yes, I saw that he said 70 miles… that can mean a lot when I’m this far north.) Nice work, by the way.

Did you release that fish? DNR has heard otherwise, as word travels fast about a NMFS violation on a highly migratory species. Its a small world…

He said he missed 4 and released 1, are you accusing him of being a liar? Did somebody tell somebody who heard it from somebody who told you something? Why don’t you come clean with what you supposedly know?

I am the original O’tay. Had this name for 7 years. Oldshool- We released the sword. DNR and NMFS has nothing and will have nothing b/c we released the sword fish. I dont know where you get saying or calling me a liar. I am sorry if we can catch fish but dont ever accuse me of killing an illegal bill fish again.
Scoutin 4 Goodies- We ran into the kings quickly. We had three hooked up and lost one. We tried getting out of there but when you called us and told us thats when it happen. Hope yall did well that day. I think we are heading out Sat. give us a call on the radio. Good Luck.

We continued on our course toward some numbers Phin gave us. Glad you caught the kings. I thought about running back throught them but the crew was ready for some bottom bumping. The kings are not the best of the table fair if you know what I mean. They are fun to catch though.
We did have one sky on a bait. He jumped 3 times before we figured out that he was on the long rigger and not strong enough to pop the clip. Kind of funny seeing him jump with the bait in his mouth trying to figure which rod he was on.

</font id=“quote”></blockquote id=“quote”>I hear ya! Mine came from Key West pre-named, so I left it alone. Thought it was pretty original and was surprised when I found out there was another.
Did you go alone or have a partner with another boat? We’d like to setup a Swordfishing trip, but plan to do it with another boat … any interest?

Otay 37, if the fish was the minimum size and you have the proper permit why would it be illegal to kill the sword? I am not saying you did not release it I am just making sure I understand the NMF’s requirements. I was under the impression you could land 3 swords per boat over 47" (fork to lower jaw) if you have the properNMF permit and report the landing. Is this not the correct info?

Thanks for the info I was worried for a minute that Matlock up there was going to kick in my door and grab the sword steaks I just put on the grill.

What is the deal with you and OldSchool? You are calling the man a liar with no proof? If you have the proof then show it, tell DNR, call his mommy do what ever. If not leave the guy alone. Sounds like he had a good day and posted information to aid others in on what is biting. Why are you trying to start a fight here?

Otay37, sounds like a good sword trip for this neck of the woods.
Don’t give too much thought to Oldschool’s comments…it’s a well known fact that he is a bitter old curmudgeon with nothing positive to say about anyone’s catch(except his, of course). Word gets around fast about that, too.
