Mudhole Mahi Prospecting

[Gerry Zagorski]

Sadly I’ve not had much of a opportunity to use the boat this year but hope to try and change that... No secret I love Mahi fishing so that’s where I’m going to set my sites in the coming weeks. It looks as if the conditions are lining up as well...Water temps have creeped up into the high 70s and some of the recent satellite shots it looks as if the dirty water is clearing out as well..

Plan is to start doing some prospecting over the next few weeks as time and conditions allow so stay tuned here. Hope some others will join in to share information and or buddy up on the water.

They were in the glory hole last weekend (chickens) but inshore of that the water was very dirty. Keep an eye on the chlorophyll shots

Stopped by the Chicken, Glory, and other places on Tuesday. 79.4 degree clean water. Found no mahi. I was surprised. everything looked so good. Whales, Porpoise, Tuna, & Turtles.

Do you need a deckhand? I have experience!

This is what I have been doing the past two weeks. Work the pots on the east side of the mud hole or West side below shark river . Look for clean water.
Troll feathers 1 ft off the pots . If you hit have them. Head back and work them with spinning gear. There out there along with Cobia ! The ugly the pot the better,

Good luck !

I did troll around the bouy and one took half of my ballyhoo. I was thinking about putting my speaders with feathers out but never did. One thing that really surprised me is the communication on the radio, guys giving their location out. That seems to never happen in the jersey waters. Lots of life out there, seems to be the right spot at the right time.

First hint of any blue water I've seen in the Mudhole in a long time just showed up in today's shot at the Glory Hole. I hope it creeps further north like it usually does... Never had much luck at the Glory.
