Where will you be fishing? Here I run baits at 100, 200, and 300' I try to lay off shore of structure with a minimum of 1300' of water. The water often eddies around in these areas and where I can find some up welling I do pretty good. In the past I was a flygaff man but have come around to a poon for them.

I'm not familiar with your contours but I see a nice section of 78.3 water at 31'54 and 79'06 roughly... Run a green light if you got one. Slide a live bait out either on top or on one of the deep baits...

so is 78 better than 75 degree water for swords...


that spot you mentioned has a trough. .
