The HI-COUNT is not ready to call it quits on the "Big Game" hunt for San Diego's elusive Swordfish. Wednesday was the first attempt at night time drift style fishing. Capt. Jason is very excited about the new AVET 3-speed 80 size reels graciously donated by AVET REELS. The trip only turned up with 1 shark bite, but was just as much of a test of procedure and rigging for trips to come. They resume the hunt next week. Call Capt. Jason at 714-809-9772 for info about these "Swordfish Trips".
