Dolphin Fishing

Mahi Mahi, also known as Dolphin, is one of the most sought-after fish species in Florida and a highlight of our fishing adventures. Experience the beauty of South Florida’s sunny skies and lush landscapes while enjoying a fishing charter with a small group.

We have great success fishing a bit offshore, often employing techniques like offshore trolling, where we cruise at 6–8 knots with 4 to 5 baits trailing behind us.

We’re always on the lookout for floating debris on the water, such as patches of seaweed, shipping materials, or even a lone piece of driftwood. Mahi Mahi love to hide and hunt around these areas, as they provide both cover and a hunting ground for their prey.

When fishing offshore, Mahi Mahi usually travel in schools, so where there’s one, there are likely more nearby. Once we spot a group of Dolphins, we stop the boat and reel in the trolling lines, allowing our guests to cast with spinning rods and lighter tackle, which is where the excitement truly starts. Using live bait like pilchards, goggle-eyes, and blue runners yields the best results in a school of Mahi Mahi. If live bait isn’t available, we use chunks of bait to chum the water and keep the Dolphins engaged.

They offer both half-day and full-day charters, and their skilled captains know the best spots to find these fish. Mahi Mahi are a favorite among anglers and can be caught through trolling, casting, or jigging. The prime time for catching Mahi Mahi in Pompano/Fort Lauderdale is during the summer months when the water is warm, but they can be found year-round. These fish typically swim in schools and are often seen near the water’s surface. In the fall, Mahi Mahi tend to move closer to shore in search of ballyhoo that gather offshore during that season.

O-Sea-D Sport Fishing employs various techniques to catch Mahi Mahi, including trolling, casting, and jigging. Trolling is particularly effective, as it involves trailing bait or lures behind the boat.
