Default Mudhole Mahi Prospecting

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

Been watching the Choloro shots where we target them which is the Northern 1/3 of the mudhole and that water has cleaned up some as you'll see below. The area I circled was all dark red and brown just a few days ago. This shot is courtesy of www.ripcharts.com, a sponsor of our site...


Should only be a matter time until they start taking up residence on the pots...

And Polski when we are ready to go and have some room, I'll be sure and reach out...

I like to pull a Wahoo lure in the mix when trolling pots. It has paid off a couple times for us. Good luck out there Gerry.
