Email me: [email protected] **** In this video: We head out of Summerland Key in the Florida keys and run offshore to go deep dropping. We were planning on deep dropping for swordfish but on our way out picked up some squid and decided to deep drop for some grouper or tilefish first instead. On our way to go offshore fishing we spot a mahi and pitch it a live pilchard. It quickly swallows the bait and it's game on! One mahi in the boat! Maybe I can turn this mahi belly into a swordfish bait? But instead we decide to use it for deep drop bait on the chicken rig for a tilefish or grouper. We stop on some new grounds on our way offshore fishing and start deep dropping. We loose a couple rigs but we also catch some rose fish. We will eat these for dinner in this catch n cook. The mahi will also be part of the catch and cook! Did I also mention that Lee is now a Captain and running Fish and Spear Charters. You should def. check him out and book one of his fishing charters out of summerland key. It's one of the cheapest charters you will find in the keys. Maybe in all of Florida! After some time we decide to run to the swordfish grounds. We run further offshore and use the tanacom 1000 to deep drop for the swordfish. We are finally swordfishing! Deep dropping in the florida keys doesn't get better than this! Hours go by and we head in back to summerland key in the dark. It was another great day in the keys. We didn't catch the swordfish we were targeting BUT the mahi and rosies were still an awesome catch and cook!
