Daytime swordfishing is the latest craze in deep sea fishing. Come with Capt. Dean Panos who helped pioneer this fishery off of Miami. Dead bait is fished at depths in excess of 1500 feet in the Gulfstream. Braided line is used and the bait is held to the bottom with the use of a very heavy lead. Double D Charters has both electric and manual reels that are used in this fishery and the option is solely up to the customer. We even have the new Hooker Electric Shimano 80W electric/manual reel. This reel enables the customer to reel in the fish by hand, or use the electric portion of the reel to bring up the bait or lead.
Typically the swordfish caught during the day are substantially larger than the fish caught at night. If it is BIG fish you want to catch then this is the fishery for you! Double D Charters has boated swordfish over 600 pounds during the day and many over the 300 and 400 pound mark.
Double D Charters is set up to fish with a maximum of 6 anglers, although two or three anglers provide a much more comfortable and more hands on interaction.
The Captain provides everything needed for a day of fishing including tackle, licenses, ice, etc. The customer should bring their own food and drink. A cooler with ice is on board the vessel. Sunglasses, hat and sunscreen are recommended. Sunscreen should be non-aerosol type as aerosol sunscreens can stain the deck of the boat.
The Captain is always willing to teach as much or as little as the anglers desire. Everyone from a novice to an expert fisherman are welcomed.
Double D Charters also caters to family charters. The Captain has two children of his own, and is understanding of children's special needs. There is no better way to ensure the sport of fishing than to introduce a child to the fun of fishing.
