Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) Tips

Adult dolphins eat squid, flying fish, and other small fish while cruising weed lines in offshore waters. Troll natural baits such as ballyhoo rigged on #7 or #8 steel wire with a 7/0 or 8/0 hook. They can also be caught on artificial lures, feathers, or spoons. When a schooling dolphin is hooked, leave it in the water. The rest of the school will often stay nearby. Chumming cut bait will bring them in and create a frenzy of activity. Tip obtained from Florida Fishing Weekly News letter.
