NOAA SST showed the break at about 100 miles from the dock, headed our towards the Deli at 3 AM, passed several weed lines before we set a spread at a weed line + temp break + rip at about 800 ft, 95 miles from the dock. First fish hit in minutes, non stop action, could not get a full 6 line spread set until about 10 AM when things cooled down. Heated up again at 11:30, finished with a nice double at 12:45 and headed for home. Had a sail take a slash, thought it was a Mahi short strike so started reeling in to check bait and was treated to a sail free jumping 6 times just behind our spread. Dropped the line back but no deal. Finished with 16 Mahi in the box. Nice ride out and back, prefect day all around.
