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 saw a significant increase in recreational fishing for mahi, with nearly half a million trips being made in one year. This generated strong economic returns for the state. Therefore, it's important to follow the rules and regulations governing the use of fishing gear when fishing for mahi-mahi.
Mahi-mahi fishermen most commonly use a 30-50-pound class rod, a 7-10 inch hook for ballyhoo and 40-pound braided primary line. A ziplock bag containing cut bait is a good idea to keep with you when fishing. Always have a bag of squid or cut bait on you. Try to reach seven knots per hour when trolling. Re-cast if you catch one.
FAQ
Are there different types of lures?
Yes, there are many kinds of lures. Some lures are designed specifically for certain species of fish. Some lures are designed to mimic insects, frogs and crayfish. You can find lures in many shapes and sizes. Some lures can even be shaped like real insects.
To fish, do we need a pole?
Yes. The bobber is used when the bait is being removed from the water. The bobber has two parts: the float and the line. Attach the hook to the line at the end and then let go. The lure could sink to the bottom if you don't have a bobber. This makes it harder for fish to take the bait.
How do I bait my hooks
Bait your hooks by tying a piece of meat onto the end of your hook. Attach the meat to the eye of the hook.
Where can you buy your fishing supplies?
These items are available at most sporting good stores. However, if something is not listed, you can search online. You can find everything on many websites, from lures and tackle boxes to rods and reels.

What's the right fishing rod length?
