One of the most sought after game fish in the world because of its excellent table fare, Mahi-Mahi are prolific to the waters off of the St. Lucie Inlet in Stuart Florida during the months of November through June.

We troll dead Ballyhoo, small lures and suspend live bait from kites to target dolphin. All are extremely effective methods. Dolphin are one of the prettiest fish we catch with brilliant yellows, green, blues, silvers and golds all seen during their amazing aerial displays. They are extremely aggressive sometimes eating multiple baits, they are a schooling fish and it’s not uncommon to have 20 plus fish swimming around the boat at one time in the heat of the migration. All these characteristics make Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) one of the most desired targets of our clients.
By-catches while fishing for Dolphin include, but are not limited to, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, Bonito, Wahoo, Barracuda, Shark and Marlin.
