[SHARKINJEFF]

I heard some talk about alot of mahi in close on saturday, dont know where. The capt. Bragging over the vhf claimed he was in north Dakota. Has anyone located the mahi in close yet?

I was out near the Oregon with some friends from work, trying to chum for big bluefish. I did not catch a single bluefish, but I had schools of small Mahi (< 5lbs) swimming around the boat. I put out a small hook with chum on it and promptly caught one, for a positive ID.

Little ones

They are starting to show on pots inshore around 20 NM now. I have not seen them inside that as of yet.
I found only schoolies (real small, like 5-8 lbs) so far hanging around some pots South of Block over the past weekend.
Some bigger ones are showing outside 40 fthms.

SET UP A CHUM SLICK UP CURRENT OF THE AMBROSE TOWER. IF YOU CAN TAKE THE NOISE FROM THE TOWER, YOU WILL HAVE A STEADY PICK AT MAHI TO 8 LBS AND BLUES

Mahi Mahi have been located inside the 700 line south of moriches. We spotted them hanging around a bunch of weeds on Sat and i know of guys who caught some sharking this past weekend.

Hey Jackson-Nice job on the mahi's,did you see them hanging around the tower,or where you bluefishing when they showed up. Also was the water clean green or dirty.

 

[JACKSON]

I WAS BLUE FISHING CLOSE TO THE TOWER AND I TOUGHT I SAW A FALSE ALBIE IN THE SLICK. I SENT OUT A SPEARING AND LANDED A 5LB MAHI. THERE WERE MANY OF THEM APPEARING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE LANDED ABOUT 8 OF THEM, ONLY KEEPING 2. THE WATER WAS GREEN BUT I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE MAHI TAKE THE SPEARING IN THE SLICK. THE AMBROSE TOWER IS AN UNDERESTIMATED FISHING LOCATION. IT IS A HUGH PIECE OF STRUCTURE LOCATED IN APPROX. 100FT OF WATER. I HAVE LANDED MAHI, SMALL TUNA, LARGE SEABASS, BLUE SHARKS, AND EVEN AN ESTIMATED 250LB HAMMERHEAD. TRY BLUE FISHING THE TOWER AND BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER MAY COME ALONG.

Jackson, thanks for the report, i run a 25 c-hawk from keyport and plan on fishing inshore waters out to the glory hole and virginia wreck for the remainder of the season, any reports i get will be reported to you-i usually monitor channel 68 and my name is Fred.

 

[quitethelilfish]

Jackson, you are so knowlegable. How many mahi did you catch? Did you eat the two that you kept?, or did you swim with them???

 

[JACKSON]

Jackson,( or anyone else who knows this area)
I'd really appreciate an update and more information on fishing at Ambrose. Thaat seems like a lot of good action for a spot so close in. I have a 23 footer, so almost all of the far out places are off limits for me. Any extra info would be MUCH appreciated

Exercise caution and prudence near the tower as this is the apex of three primary shipping lanes and when ships are passing (especially outbound) their wakes can be fairly dangerous.

 

[SummerBrz]

Hey Mike,

Are those #'s for the new tower or where the old one stood?

 

[B.Attitude]

I wasn't aware of a new tower,when was this errected?
