Check out the action with us before it airs on television and watch our brand new episode streaming on Waypoint TV.

S10:E1 - “The Deep Drop” (2018)

Steve & Scott reunite in Key West, FL after Hurricane Irma and try some deep dropping for Swordfish

After the tragic events of Hurricane Irma, Captains Scott and Steve are ready to head back to the waters, and try their hand at catching some swordfish. Before they are able to go after the swordfish, Steve and Scott begin to search for some bait — and dinner, too. After catching a few dolphinfish, Steve suggests catching golden tilefish using a four-hook bottom rig with squid as bait. Quickly, they are able to grab quite a few tilefish, and then continue on with their quest for swordfish. A few hours later, there is finally a tug and at the end of the line: a small swordfish! Steve and Scott release the swordfish back into the water, and finish their day riding off into the sunset.

As always, we had Jason Stemple with us to document this trip in ultra high quality still photos.  Here are some of our favorites.  Enjoy!
