Lost a 90 incher at the boat, that one was 68, so we had to let it go, and parted one off after about 45 seconds of mayhem. They're around, go get em.

Post by: umecheme on August 17, 2020, 03:28:03 PM: It was super warm. Before the storm came through, surface water was 74 by Monhegan... How do I fish for Mahi?

They’re usually a lot to closer to us , MDI rock, but haven’t talked with any of my buddies about them his year. Places I’ve been fishing have been around 65 on the surface, stripers probably moved down your way by now.
