Mahi Bite on Fire! Miami & Florida Keys

The offshore mahi bite is heating up just in time for summer! Anglers fishing out of Miami and throughout the Florida Keys are finding quality action by staying mobile and covering water until they locate clean weed lines, color changes, frigate birds, or floating debris. Most of the fish have been school-sized, but there are plenty of larger bulls mixed in, so keep a pitch rod ready whenever you hook up. Once you find one fish, don't rush to leave—there's a good chance more are holding nearby. Live pilchards, ballyhoo, and squid have all been producing, while trolling small skirts and feathers has been an effective way to locate scattered schools before switching to live bait. Early morning has been the most productive window before the afternoon heat and sea breeze build. Water conditions have been clean offshore, and with good weather, the bite should continue to improve over the coming weeks. If you're planning a trip, now is an excellent time to get offshore. The mahi are here, and every trip has the potential for fast-paced action, colorful catches, and fresh fish for dinner. Tight lines, and we'll see you on the water!
