Sea surface temperatures are currently in the low to mid 80s, with several .5 to 1-degree temperature breaks that are worth exploring. There is also plenty of blue water once outside of the Mississippi Delta zone. A counter-clockwise rotating current eddy coming off of the Loop Current is pushing blue water over Green Canyon and the two counter-rotating current converge east of Green Canyon. These areas have a high probability for holding blue marlin. To monitor water temps, water color, currents and more visit FishTrack.com.
