What is the latest location of blue water? I have been hearing anywhere from 105-120 miles south of Destin. Does anyone have Hilton's or Ripcharts to confirm this? Looking to go on the 4th... hopefully it will come in a little closer.

We fished last Thursday through Saturday and the closest water was 120 miles south and moving south.

I can tell you that out here at Thunderhorse it is nasty water, and no fish. The current has been ripping at times up to 3 kts.

We fished a green to blue-green rip on sunday 85 miles south of O.B. It was real fishy.

They tell no lies.

I'd give you an image from supermap but...well.. I rather not go down that road right now - :shedevil

ANYWAY, look at CoastWatch from June 28, closest is like what you heard,along the lines of100+nm S.

Howdy,

You are going to have to travel at least 100 NM to find decent water - it is still moving south. It is very useful to put the imagery into motion via "Loop Image" as that tells the whole story.

All the best,

here's a hint...blue water is well below the green...this summer may require a new weapon. Downrigger. We had a Blue Marlin up north of the squiggles and caught a wahoo in nasty green water ....got to be good and blue below it...

i think you are right capt. i think this technology has spoiled us! what did everyone do before these sites?? you just went to your normal spots and hoped for the best if there was bait there was probably fish whether the water was green or blue!! one of the best captains in this area just stated above the water was green but very fishy!! he has caught a "few" fish in his lifeand i would beleive him more than a sat. pic.

How deep are you fishing on the downrigger?

Captain Mickey O'Reilly

The green nasty water is only about 20-30 feet deep and it gets cold and clean beneath it. We dove the Anterres this past Saturday, and the entire area was covered with blue runners and other baitfish. We even had a small blue come up an crash a wad of bait while we were sitting on anchor. I know, how do you know it was a Blue Marlin, it was fifty yards away, and I have seen one or two in my life. Anyway, we are going fun fishing tomorrow in the ugly/fishy water, so I will report back tommorrow afternoon. Good luck to all in the International!
