    Fun Fishing Trip!

    Took my son out for his first fishing trip. Capt. Dave is very pleasant and great operator. We hooked into a good size Mahi Mahi. Capt. fillet it up and we took it to a local restaurant and chef there made some delicious food! Thank you Capt. Dave

    Ótima pescaria

    Tivemos um grande dia, pegamos vários dourados e pargos, precisamos parar pois atingimos a cota máxima. Jesus é um ótimo capitão, muito empenhado e dedicado. Recomendo muito.

About Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) fishing

Game Quality

Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) fishing is all about bright colors, fast runs, and nonstop action. Anglers love this pelagic game fish for its hard fight, quick growth, and great table fare. You may hear it called Dorado or Dolphinfish. It is not related to the marine mammal. Schools often roam warm bluewater and bring exciting surface strikes.

Most crews target Mahi Mahi by offshore trolling with ballyhoo, squid, or flashy lures. Trolling means the boat moves so the bait swims and skips. Spinning works well near floating weedlines and debris. Fly fishing can shine around schooling fish when they are lit up and feeding. Many captains also drift and chum, which means dropping small bits of bait to keep fish close.

Expect fast-paced bites, quick gaff shots, and vivid photos. Fish often travel in groups, so keep a rod ready for follow-up hookups. This is a great choice for first-timers, families, and seasoned anglers alike. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and non-slip shoes. Pack a camera and a small cooler space if you plan to keep fish where allowed. Listen to your captain’s tips on handling and icing your catch.

Before your Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) fishing trip, check local rules. Confirm if you need a fishing license or permits. Review open seasons, harvest limits, and any size rules. Regulations vary by location and can change. When in doubt, ask your captain and follow best practices for safe handling and release.
