Mudhole Mahi

[Gerry Zagorski]

Got out yesterday with high expectations given all the nice water in the Mudhole recently... It was me Jarhead Arty and Joe L from my marina.

Pot hopped around in the north western edge for a while, water was not that great but a lot of pots around so figured we give it a shot but no takers.

Steamed a few miles south, water got much better but still no takers pot hopping so we decided to stream down to the southern part of the Monster Ledge and work our way north....

No pots in the area so we put out the spread and trolled north on the eastern edge for an hour with nothing...

Was starting to get discouraged so we picked up the lines, steamed north and and west to the west side and trolled in and around the pots along the western edge working our way towards home.

We had 2 chickens that hit jets and one nice gaffer around 36 inches that hit the way way back bird followed by a green machine.

Not a great trip but at least we didn’t get skunked.
