Q.Offshore Fishing Tactics

How do I troll for mahi-mahi?

A.

Run a 4-6 line spread at 6-8 knots along weed lines, debris, and SST breaks. Use ballyhoo with skirts, cedar plugs, and small chuggers in colors like blue/white, pink, and chartreuse. When you hook a mahi, leave it in the water — the rest of the school often follows, allowing multiple hookups on cast jigs from the cockpit.

SST threshold and migration calendar pages cover mahi conditions.
