Mahi-Mahi Fishing in Sebastian

Mahi-Mahi

Mahi-Mahi, often called Dolphin or Dorado, are one of the most exciting pelagic species to pursue. These fast-growing, vibrant fish are found in warm, offshore waters and are known for their stunning iridescent colors that flash as they leap and twist during a fight. They are voracious predators, feeding on small fish, squid, and crustaceans, and are often found in schools, especially the smaller 'schoolie' dolphin. Larger bulls and cows also roam the offshore currents. Our strategy for catching Mahi-Mahi involves trolling offshore in search of structure or signs of baitfish. Weed lines, floating debris like buoys or logs, and temperature breaks are prime locations where Mahi-Mahi congregate to feed and find shelter. We often troll with feathered lures, ballyhoo, or a combination of both. When a school of Mahi-Mahi is found, the action can be fast and furious, with multiple fish often striking at once. It's crucial to keep the rest of the school interested once one is hooked, often by keeping a bait or lure in the water for them to strike while the hooked fish is being reeled in. Mahi-Mahi are not only a fantastic sport fish but also incredibly delicious. Their flaky, white meat is a favorite on dinner plates. While they can be found offshore of Sebastian year-round, their numbers tend to peak during the warmer months. Anglers looking for a thrilling offshore adventure and a great meal should consider targeting these magnificent fish on a charter with AA Fishing Charter.
