Did a ling trip out of Brielle today. We fished near one pot that was loaded with grasshoppers. Not worth keeping as they were all 12"-14" but they liked a 3/8oz spro. Was just about to liveline one to see if a wahoo or white followed them in, but we moved. Also had a medium ling and a nice winter flounder on a 6oz hammered diamond jig in the Farms area.

Glenn (Gmann) landed a nice 3.5ft Mahi in Wilmington, NC on a Fisherman's Andamans jig. Pretty badass.

They are a lot of fun to catch on poppers too. A lot of times when they won't bite other lures, or even bait, they'll hit a popper dragged over them. And they fly out of the water with it a lot of times.

Chris, it should be fun to catch mahi on poppers.
I am going to bring popping rods whenever I go offshore tuna trips.

Hi Kil ,

Small stickbaits work better than poppers on mahi-mahi .

Kil,

I have a light Trevalla rod with a Cabo 30 that I bring along for mahi and squid that has worked very well.

Pretty much a mahi on every pot right now more than 6 miles off. This week saw mostly singles in the 4-6lb class. Not very aggressive due to a drop in surface temp, but some bit.
