Yesterday myself and Capt. Jason Neadel had the Ben greene charter out from Northstar Seafood and got an early start by setting a line on the bottom to target swords at around 5PM. It didn't take long and at 5:10 we were hooked up on a nice fish in 1350' of water. These fish take some major effort to bring them up the last 100-200', just didn't want to budge. Finally we had color and I dropped the harpoon on him and we had a 60" sword next to the boat in broad daylight! We were already getting bombarded by boats running to the grounds so we made a move a little further south and set up for night time fishing. We got our other bite at 8:30 on the 250' rod but pulled the hook about 25' under the boat. Ben was satisfied pulling on two fish and we headed home early!

About The Author: Captain Justin Nighan

Company: Liquid Gold Charters

Area Reporting: Miami, FL

Bio: Capt. Justin Nighan started fishing earlier than most. Aboard his parents 40' Sportfisherman, Justin started sailing to the Canyons off the New Jersey coast when he was just a few months old. Fishing was his parent's passion for most of his childhood and they took him on every trip. By the age of 16 Justin has already logged almost 500 trips to the NE Canyons and started running his father's boat, the "Sunny Skies". At 18 years old Justin packed up and headed south to attend the U of Miami during which he took part time jobs as a mate/captain and learned what South Florida sportfishing is all about. After receiving his B.S. in Biology (2002) he had a tough decision to make, either to pursuer his true passion, fishing, or to enter the 9-5 world. His choice was easily made and he promptly joined the Canyon Runner Charter fishing crew as a full time mate. Throughout the next 3+ years he fished the NE canyons during the summer, producing over 1000 tuna each season, and fishing South Florida in the winter.
