surely is a swordy

Tue, 2013-05-21 13:40

good catch on the swordy!

But they arent uncommon, around Sept they are up that way breeding (maybe) in a big way.

Just that nobody either targets or has the right technique (luck!) sorted.

When we were longlining we were never up there at this time of year, only Dec Jan Feb, and there would be a few around but nothing too spectactular as we were after yellowfin.

But Im just looking in my old books now and see (plucking a couple of days at random) the following

 

10/12/02 8 swords 60-85kg

13/11/02 14 swords to 70kg

13/12/02 15 swords to 80kg (average only 40kg though much smaller than our normal sthn average of about 70-90 across all)

Under 30-35kg released if alive

 

thats all along the edge from Exmouth up to Rankin Bank on the drop off 500+ meters

 

One boat I know of went up there in Sept and found alot of big swordies.
