Done. Every time I come out to LA I hop on a party boat out of marina del rey for rockfish. I need to up my game next time and chase some yellowtail or WSB!
You guy's are doing great!! Plus using a high tech methods catching swordfish,, Local fishermen here in Davao del Sur also catch swordfish using pamataw ,
Local Knowledge Fishing Show why is that though? I’m an LA surf fisherman and wish I could catch jacks and Bonito and blacktips from shore any tips where I can up my game surf fishing west coast?
@@LocalKnowledge u should read into urr historic tuna club fishing then.... U certainly weren't tha first to catch a swordfish...deep drop-ing or otherwise!!!! Give us a break!!!!! An not a commercial break!!!!
Tackle today has come a long ways compared to the hickory wood rods and old coxes reel linen line we used in the 50es we lost many fish before getting first one in 1964 in 1959 I watched my dad go 13 hour on huge fish loosing it right at galf I was only 6 years old at the time so it was way to hard for my dad to learder and galf the fish by himself
@@xprettylightsx If your in a fishing club and you want to get reckanesion for the fish you have got to fish by the rules first its against the law to have a harpoon on your when sport fishing. And yes galf and tail rope only there so other rules like cant fight the fish from rod holder .Think all clubs I know of have same rules. I belong to the SCTC in long beach California check your rules
Question... so after you get the bait to the bottom and the weight pops off. Can you retrieve the weight? The only reason I ask is because of the plastic zip ties.
We use a bunch of different ones. We have a license agreement with the same company that all the big shows use. A lot of times we will here music we used on Shameless and other favorite shows.
I'm not going to be able to name names, but if someone checked with the Balboa Angling Club, I'm pretty sure in the 70's when I was fishing week in and week out in the Newport area, that broadbill swordfish were caught in the day time, on rod and reel. On the surface, when they are sunning.
There are a handful of surface fish caught each year. When we say "Daytime" fish we are referring to Daytime Deep Dropping. Deep Dropping produces way more bites than surface fishing. Good luck.
Hey there, We are dropping on structure that is known to hold swords. Our commercial fleet catches them on these spots years in and year out. We do meter what we believe to be swords with our chirp sounder from time to time. Thanks for watching.
We use circles for 90% of our fishing. For swords we prefer a J hook. They are very clumsy eaters and a lot of times they will get hooked in the bill or elsewhere.
Who else is sick of "if someone tells me I can't or won't, it drives me even more"? It's like each person that says it, thinks their the first person to say that and it makes them sound like they have that hidden factor that makes them great
I would of never believe you till I saw this episode wow swordfish in the west coast in San Diego wow
They are in SD waters for sure!
You guys are awesome, I cant believe these videos don't have 100k+ views

Great episode, cant wait to rig my new motors and give this a try
Thanks for watching Keven. Good luck in your hunt!
What a legend
Swords make us insane!
Awesome episode!
Glad you enjoyed! Please share with your friends.
LOL....... you lost me when you said no one catches more swordfish than the harpoon guys........ LOL
The harpoon and net guys used to catch 99% of the swords in Socal. No longer true with the new sport fishery we have developed.
@@LocalKnowledge ok, agree. maybe it's 98% now?
You guy's are doing great!!
Plus using a high tech methods catching swordfish,,
Local fishermen here in Davao del Sur also catch swordfish using pamataw ,
Never heard of this technique? What does it consist of?
Been thinking about doing this for awhile and seriously want to try this from a kayak if possible. Thanks for giving me some hope!
Hand crank a deep drop from a Kayak? That would be a hell of an accomplishment
Totally doable with breakaway weight.
Same here! I am in a PA14 Furuno 1871f tm185M in OC let’s join forces and do this ?
If this was Florida you can guarantee swordfish all day
Definitely a lot easier on the right coast! Thanks for checking us out.
Local Knowledge Fishing Show why is that though?
I’m an LA surf fisherman and wish I could catch jacks and Bonito and blacktips from shore any tips where I can up my game surf fishing west coast?
Zane Grey an R . C. Grey. ... And many more .. from as far back as the 30's!! Too many commercials also! Kant watch!!
Our local history is amazin.
@@LocalKnowledge u should read into urr historic tuna club fishing then.... U certainly weren't tha first to catch a swordfish...deep drop-ing or otherwise!!!! Give us a break!!!!! An not a commercial break!!!!
Can someone explain the weight situation... do you sacrifice the weight every drop?
We used to do it this way. Now we fish with the weight about 60' up from the hook.
@Local Knowledge Fishing Show so you just drop down with the 3-5# weight? Any problems with twisting and such?
awesome episode when dose the next one come out
Hey Seth, We will release a new episode every OTHER week until September. Thanks for watching. Please tell your friends.
A charter with Dana Warf Sportfishing just caught a sword fish during the day but it can with a 7 hour fight
This is correct. They do get caught from time to time on the surface but the deep drop is a much more reliable way to get a bite.
We landed a 600 pounder brod day light ...in California out of Dana point
That's the fish of a lifetime! Congrats!
Anytime u can catch a swordfish is a great day my dad George Williams and I have rod and reeled 19 finning swordfish between 1964 and 1972
absolutely !

Love your show one thing is I disagree with the harpoon no club in California will accept that as a caught fish
George Williams very curious to hear ur answer , to qualify as a “caught” fish you need to gaff and tail rope only?? Thank you.

Question... so after you get the bait to the bottom and the weight pops off. Can you retrieve the weight? The only reason I ask is because of the plastic zip ties.
No sir. Since then we have gone to metal bailing wire for this reason.
Local Knowledge Fishing Show 😀
@@LocalKnowledge could you please explain the bailing wire? thx
Now that some time has passed, are you guys still doing the booby trap method sacrificing the weight?
No sir. We have gone to a fixed weight and we fish much shallower 800-1200'.
If you have no current and you’re dropping the weight when you hit bottom, with the wind, would a sea anchor help to keep you more vertical?
It would for sure but we like to cover ground. If it's really windy the Sea Anchor is a great option. Otherwise we'd prefer to be moving more.
Be nice to know what songs they used in this episode.
We use a bunch of different ones. We have a license agreement with the same company that all the big shows use. A lot of times we will here music we used on Shameless and other favorite shows.

Did you guys ever make this happen
Literally yesterday in the same spot. Ali and a buddy got it done. Check his social media.
Congrats man ... you should do an episode Keith Poe giant mako sharks and white sharks
I know multiple people who have caught swordfish in the day.
So do we! It's an awesome fishery
In 1972 the International broad bill tournament in Oxnard we caught 2 in one day
What size is that Florida CC you guys fished on?
It's a 32' Andros. We love it, rides great, dry and very good on fuel. Check them out androsboats.com/
How'd you guys know where to drop? Not getting marks that deep right?
Hey there, We are dropping on structure that is known to hold swords. Our commercial fleet catches them on these spots years in and year out. We do meter what we believe to be swords with our chirp sounder from time to time. Thanks for watching.
Why no circle hooks???
We use circles for 90% of our fishing. For swords we prefer a J hook. They are very clumsy eaters and a lot of times they will get hooked in the bill or elsewhere.
What boat is that
It's a 1992 31' Innovator. It's a classic Southern Cal boat.
You beat my dad’s friend too that record he caught one on rod and reel
Sorry dad! :)
Who else is sick of "if someone tells me I can't or won't, it drives me even more"? It's like each person that says it, thinks their the first person to say that and it makes them sound like they have that hidden factor that makes them great
Not us.
They show u nothing lmao
Ton's of info here. Just need to know what to look for. Good luck.
To many advertisements!!
Sorry, that's RUclips, not us.
I'd love to actually see you catch the fish, took like fucking 15 minutes to watch that part
There's 7 seasons of the boys catching everything from bass to giant tuna right here on our channel. Enjoy
Good video, but a 25 minute episode is too long to not show a fish being caught
Sorry about that but that's what really happened. Thanks for watching.
Bloody deck guy really knows nothing about fishing lol
M-kay champ. Keep walking.
Most expensive show on RUclips, beautiful, but no fisherman is that GAY 🐸👙👗
