Huk Gear made a big splash into Louisiana recently when it signed on as a sponsor of the Mexican Gulf Fishing Company.

It’s most visible entry includes full sidewall boat wraps on the f/v Pale Horse (captained by Kevin Beach), and the f/v Wild Bill (captained by Billy Wells and Colin Byrd). Both boats, 37-foot Freeman Boatworks catamarans, we’re emblazoned with Huk’s camo background, offshore game fish illustrations, and branding marks for Huk, MGFC and Freeman.

Drew Herma, of Huk Gear / Marolina, says, “the thing about Huk is that we design clothing for anglers by anglers. Whether it’s fly fishing in Montana or being out on the Gulf with the Captains at MGFC, Huk wants to be where fishermen are. Everyone within Huk is part of the fishing community. All of our team is passionate about fishing. We built a brand of high performance outdoor gear, designed specifically for the needs of the fishing community.”

Huk has managed to turn clothing into gear. Its line of high performance, anti microbial, moisture wicking and stain resistant clothing is soon to be a fisherman’s best friend. It already is for MGFC.

There are plenty fluorocarbon brands available, but the captains at MGFC use Seaguar fluorocarbon — because it’s the best on the market. Best on the market means it’s the only fluorocarbon on our boats.

MGFC prides itself on making the best gear available to its offshore charter fishing customers. From Seaguar fluorocarbons to Shimano rods and reels, the MGFC makes sure you’re fishing with the best from end-to-end.

If it’s yellowfin tuna you’re after, you really want to be using Seaguar fluorocarbon. Same goes when you’re bottom fishing for snapper, and it’s especially true when you’re after swordfish and marlin.

If you’ve been lucky enough to fish on a charter with Captain Jordan Ellis you know his enthusiasm for all species of fish is something that doesn’t wane. One group of fish though, holds his attention more than most others. Billfish. And, … among the billfish species his favorite is perhaps swordfish. Big honking swordfish, preferably caught in the daytime.

That’s just what he did last week on back-to-back trips out of Venice, LA.

Swordfish are known as denizens of the deep, dark sea. They live at great depths, only rarely come up to the top half of the water column, and they most often feed at night.

Going for swordfish is always an adventure. It’s even more so when you target swordfish during the day. It’s quite a treat, which requires patience, skill, precision, and an alert attitude by everyone on the boat.

The captains at Mexican Gulf Fishing Co. have all caught their fair share of daytime swordfish. This summer is no exception, but through May — the swordfish action has been frequent — and rewarding.
