Although these fish are not a common sight, they're a blast to catch and fight. They are also plentiful and delicious. Mahi Mahi-Mahi fishing trips can be organized in Costa Rica to target these extraordinary acrobats. Depending on your location, smaller Mahi-Mahi can be found inshore and larger ones offshore.

Although Mahi-mahi can be found throughout the year (except for March and September), they are most abundant in March and September. Mahi-mahi are easy to catch using medium-weight fishing tackle and live bait. They are usually only about 20 pounds but can reach up to 82 pounds when they are in Hawaiian waters. These fish can be easily identified by their bright green and blue side and golden bodies. They are also known for their spectacular aerial displays.
There are many charters available in Maui. You'll find all types of fishing charters here, from half-day excursions to 8-hour charters. There are many fish species that you will catch while you are out on the water. You will also be rewarded with a trophy. A spectacular view of the water will also await you!
Gear restrictions
While overfishing of mahi-mahi is a legitimate concern, fishing with longlines would also negatively impact recreational fishing and its associated species. Florida's recreational fishing fleet for mahi mahi was responsible for nearly half of a million trips to the coast in one calendar year. This resulted in a strong economic return. You should follow all rules and regulations regarding fishing gear for mahi–mahi.
Mahi-mahi fishermen typically use a 30-50 pound main line, a 7 to 9-inch ballyhoo hook, and a braided 40-pound braided rod. To ensure the safety of the anglers, it is best to have a ziplock bag filled with cut bait with you while fishing. Always have a bag of squid or cut bait on you. Try to reach seven knots per hour when trolling. You can catch one by reeling it in quickly.
FAQ
What happens if I am caught illegally fishing?
You could face fines or jail time as well as losing your fishing permit. It's important to know the rules before you go fishing.
Where can I look for good fishing guides
Fishing guides offer a wide variety of services. These guides can give advice on the best places to catch fish, offer tips on how to catch specific types of fish, or even show you how different types of fishing equipment works.
How can I get my children to fish?
Absolutely! Absolutely! Fishing is something that kids love to do. The majority of children who are raised fishing will never stop. There are many ways you can encourage your child fishing. You could show them how to tie knots and build a fishing rod, or teach them about proper fishing manners. You could also show them pictures of what fish look like and tell them stories about fishing.
To fish, do we need a pole?
Yes. The bobber is used when the bait is being removed from the water. There are two parts of a bobber, the float or the line. To cast a lure, attach the hook to one end of the line. Then, pull the rod out and release the line. The lure could sink to the bottom if you don't have a bobber. This makes it harder for fish to take the bait.
Do I need special licenses to fish?
No, unless you are going to fish in another state or county. Many states allow anglers to fish without any type of license. Check with your local Fish & Wildlife agency to see what is required.
Can I fish during the day?
Yes, you can fish anytime of the day. Fishing is only allowed during periods when it is prohibited.
