Trip Summary
Ty reached out while he was staying down in fort lauderdale to do a sword fish trip. But he didnt want to catch one on an electric reel he wanted to do it the old fashioned way. And just by chance me and a couple buddies have been messing around with trying to catch one on a hand crank and it was a great opportunity. The weather wasnt great with some rain and wind in the morning but the hardest part of the trip was just going to be getting to the sword grounds. Once we got out there it cleared up and on the first drift we got a bite on the buoy rod. We got ty in the harness and he went to work, it was definitely a help that he was an very experienced angler and id say we had the fish in the boat in 20-30 minutes. Its always nice when a plan comes together fished the rest of the day with no more bites and went home successful.
