Since long-line fishing has become a thing of the past here in Key West, the past few seasons have been great for swordfishing in the waters off Key West, Florida. Swordfishing has become big in the Key West area and Capt. Rush has been out fishing for them when conditions are right.

Swordfishing is mainly done at night. It has to be very calm waters and we run out around 18 miles from Key West and drift along the wall, where the depth of the Ocean drops to over 1000ft.

We drift live baits on special fishing rigs with light sticks and sometimes put special lighting in the water to attract the fish. Some fisherman say the full moon is the best time to go swordfishing if you can hit it just right. These fish are amazing and come all the way to the surface to eat. And when they eat... hold on. These fish are so powerful it is difficult to describe.
