Filed under: Fishing Reports
Mahi-Mahi have been what’s biting off Fort Lauderdale these past few weeks. Almost every day we’ve been hitting a school or two out there on our fishing charters. Most of the mahi-mahi have been 5-8 pounds, just a bit bigger than the normal summer schoolie dolphins. Very few big ones have been caught. All the mahi-mahi have been about the same size and traveling in small schools of 6-10 fish. It’s fun to hit a school of mahi-mahi out there. You’re trolling along, and out of nowhere 6 fish are behind the boat jumping with a couple more fish swimming right up to the boat. It can be chaotic at times when there are more fish around the boat than we have anglers to catch them, but I love that kind of chaos.
