Marlin or Swordfish

I would like to catch one in a kayak?


Who does it and how do i get there?


Don't worry Matt even if we paddled for a day we wouldn't even be close.

I would ask Jim Sammons, he probably could point you in the right direction, but it ain't gonna happen anywhere near here, maybe Cabo....

The sword from a kayak???

I need your dealers number.........


The fuel for the spotter plane alone will probably run you the same price as a fleet of hobies... Let alone keeping a skipjack or a bonito alive in a stealths livewell, see where im going with this????

Believe it or not, swordfish are right in LJ canyon....need to rig squid with 10/0-12/0 hook, heavy rod and reel, underwater lights, a 12lb.brick and at least 2000yds. of line. And fish them at night and if hooked up be prepared for another eight hours of fight. A sword from a kayak(unassited),possible but highly unlikely.

Seriously, Jim Sammons is your guy. I don't know about swordfish but he catches Marlin all the time, usually down south a bit. There are come great videos out there showing the action.

If I remember correctly, I think he told me that he even caught a marlin off Scripps pear once upon a time.

BWE report of the decade!!!

I can see it all now!


Frank ties a 12lb brick to his line and 10/0 hook.he hooks up the sword fish at la jolla canyon... The swordfish is now towin him at an amazing speed 3mph after a 7 hour battle he finally is able to subdue the beast... After use of marine glue to repair the hull he begins his 6 hour paddle back to la jolla shores which calculating the speed of the x factor plus the additional wait, it actually takes him the whole night into the morning. Where George is awaiting him with the most beatiful amazing females la jolla has.


Wow I can see it now...


Fox 11 news... Frank aka the nacho man catches a swordfish off his kayak....





Epic indeed

Where there are a couple of insane people ( let me cross that out) where there a couple of determined people like myself there will always be a way. 11 miles is nothing when you have a fish like that to share between ur brothers! Enough said!!!

Swords feed in the depths and surface in order to digest their foods. When swords are baited on the surface you can put the live bait right in front of them for hours(or as long as they stay on the surface), and be left scratching your head in dis-belief; wondering why their not taking the bait! Very frustrating but keep at it and eventually you'll come across a biter.

Marlin have been taken by Kayakers off La Jolla, and I keep waiting for someone to get one off the East end of Cat. They come in close enough at times but you have to be there right there right on them fishing for them when they come through. The last two Marlin I saw at boatside were both taken withing five miles of Catalina Island. My 178 pound fish was maybe five miles off the slide and Steves 160 pounder was hooked with four miles of Long Point. If I was going to fish them that's where I'd do it.

Swordfish local would be almost impossible. Almost all are swords are taken local are caught with mackerel cast to sleepers or surface swords that are basking in the sun. The problem is finding one and getting your yak in front of it to bait it. It's just too rare to predict. For instance I have several hundred local offshore trips to my credit targeting both tuna and Marlin. Out of all those trips I've seen only five swords, and none of those we baited lit up or struck a bait.

It could probably be done in Florida night drifting. You'd have to find a charter Captain willing to take you out and baby sit you, but they do catch enough smaller swords up shallow that it could be done. Personally if I was going to spend that kind of money I'd forget about swords and either drag my yak to Prince William sound and fish for a Giant Bluefin. Or better better yet take one down to PV and fish here:



There's plenty of Marlin to catch there but I'd be targeting big Tuna. Now that is something I've been meaning to do.

Jim
