About Miami mahi mahi
Mahi run the weed lines and current edges of the Gulf Stream off Miami, brilliant gold and green in the water. They travel in schools, hit hard, and jump from the first run to the boat.
How we fish for them
We troll rigged baits and lures along the weed lines and temperature breaks, then pitch baits once a school comes up behind the boat. Your captain reads the water, finds the edge, and puts you in position. First-timers land mahi here all the time.
