Up here in the NE, we never fish for swords in anything less than 100 fathoms, now after saying that there are exceptions like a week ago while chunking for tuna, a break in the temp went from 70 deg. to 73.5 deg. in 480feet of water. The bite on tuna and swords was unreal, most of the boats had at least 1 sword and there were about 40 boats in the Spencer canyon off NJ. that night. By the way sardines seem to be getting more poplar as bait, while chunking with the butterfish. Of course live squid is the best for all fish.
