|  Swordfish Permit LinkThe recreational daily swordfish retention limit is 1 fish per person, with a maximum of 3 fish per vessel. The minimum size for swordfish within the recreational fishery is 47 inches, lower jaw-fork length. You may not keep longbill spearfish. There are no retention limits for Atlantic sailfish, blue marlin and white marlin, but the NOAA Fisheries encourages recreational anglers to release all billfish alive. The minimum sizes for billfish are as follows: Blue Marlin: 99 inches lower jaw fork length; White Marlin: 66 inches lower jaw fork length; Sailfish: 63 inches lower jaw fork length; Spearfish: Retention prohibited. Lower jaw fork length is a straight line measurement from the tip of the lower jaw to the fork of the caudal fin. The recreational limit on sharks is 1 shark per vessel per trip with a minimum size of 54 inches fork length; plus on Atlantic sharpnose shark per person per trip(no minimum size); plus 1 bonnethead shark per person per trip (no minimum size). None of these fish may be sold, and all must be reported.

| | |  Swordfishing DVDIt must be mentioned that the National Marine Fisheries Service has done a great thing for the swordfish population. They have closed the area from Key West to the Carolinas to longlining in an effort to protect this juvenile swordfish hangout. This was done to preserve this declining fishery. It also reduces pressure on the shark, sailfish, marlin and tuna that swim in this area. We as recreational anglers or charter boat operators gain some great fishing action from this closure. But we must be conservation minded. We all may keep a fish from time to time for the dinner table, but let’s not abuse this special fishing situation.
Learn the secrets from one of Florida’s most accomplished fisherman. In this 60 minute DVD Captain Bouncer discusses everything you need to know about catching one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean, the elusive swordfish.
In this video, he explains tackle, bait, rigging the bait, line sets, where to find them and much more. Get your copy today. Captain Bouncer Smith's DVD is presented by Hydro Glow lights.

| | |  Hydro GlowThe Hydro Glow Fish Lights patented design utilizes the green light technology for improving your fishing activities during the night time hours. The light is designed to vertically submerge with only the top 3 to 5 inches of the light above the water level. This insures the entire illumination of the light is in the water where to fish are, not the bugs!
The luminating effect of the green light in water is far superior to other colors of light. This effect allows the light to penetrate farther. The superior light penetration and design does several things; virtually 100% of the light is submerged in the water, not floating on the surface; the area affected by the light is much larger with a 360 degree range; the larger area affected by the light attracts more bait fish as well as game fish to your targeted area.
The Hydro Glow Fish Light is made to stand up to the rigors of salt water fishing as well as fresh water. The bulbs are factory rated for 20000 hours use to provide years of great fishing enjoyment.
The lights have proven to be effective in catching such salt water species as speckled trout, red fish, and a variety of other salt water species. The species of fresh water fish that are attracted to the lights are any species that is traditionally active at night and eat other fish.
