MHC Fishing Report Question

[JimmyC]

I am going meat fishing on Friday out of MHC with a couple of guys. Are they still catching dolphin at 14 and the 90 foot drop?

[Chris/Producer]

Talked to a guy that went to the 90 the other day, he caught 20 gaffers and a 40 pound wahoo. Thats where I am going friday, I have a 26 yellow Regulator I'll be on Channel 68.

Yep, but I assume that if it stays like it is suppose to be, there will be a big crowd out there. Take a chance and keep going a bit. If you are at the 90 it is not that much further to the depth change (20-100 fathom break). Then if it changes you can always fish back in a bit.
I would look at the most current up to date SST that you can before going and try to overlay where you feel comfortable going to match good conditions on the SST (eddies, temp changes rip zones) if any of these are prevalent. Then keep in mind where you have heard of the fish being. For a bit more than 10 gallons of gas you can get a roffers report and that will help you hone in on the fish within your range and comfort zone. Don't be timid of trying somewhere new that is just off the beaten path (90 or the 14). You may even find a new ledge, drop off or bottom relief that could be holding bait over it.

MAHI HAVE NO BOUNDRIES THIS TIME OF YEAR....THEY WILL PROBABLY BE AT THE FIRST PILE OF WEEDS REGARDLESS OF LOCATION

FROM GEORGIA TO OREGON INLET....THE MAHI WILL BE IN 15 FATHOMS AND UP

I REMEMBER THE DAY WE WERE CATCHING SLINGER MAHI BY THE BOXLOAD AT THE BEAUFORT HIGH RISE BRIDGE.....EITHER 91 OR 92 I THINK ....HELL HALF OF CARTERET COUNTY CLOSED SHOP THAT DAY AND PILED ONTO THE RAILROAD TRACKS WITH ZEBCOS....

Thanks. I am going for the bills on Saturday. At least I know that they are still where I thought that they were.
