They are usually only about 20 pounds but can reach up to 82 pounds when they are in Hawaiian waters. These fish are easily identifiable due to their brightly colored and blue sides. They are also well-known for their aerial displays.

Gear restrictions
While overfishing mahi–mahi is a real concern, fishing with longlines could have negative consequences for recreational fishing as well as the 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. 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. It is important to always have cut bait in a ziplock bag with you, as this will ensure safety for anglers. Keep a bag of cut bait and some squid on hand. Troll at 7 knots an hour. If you catch one, reel it in quickly and re-cast.

How To
Why would you need a spinning rod?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. If you don’t have the time or desire to get back in your boat quickly after each cast, it’s a great choice. A spinning rod can be used to cast from any location and maintain control of your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is the part that holds the rod in your hand and grips the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many different types of rods available today. Some are specifically designed for certain fishing types, such as casting and trolling. Others are designed to be used for various purposes, including fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing, etc.
The type of fish that will be caught determines the type and size of the rod. You would need a heavy-duty rod if your goal is to catch large predatory fish like pike and bass. If you are targeting smaller species, such as trout and salmon, a lighter-weight rod may be more effective. You could even purchase multiple rod sizes depending upon how big you plan to catch the fish.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They can also be used for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. They can cast further distances because of this. You should be aware that saltwater fishing can have its drawbacks. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. Instead, one must be purchased separately. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. If you love catching bigger fish, then a spinning rod may be something to consider.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. When the lure moves through the water it turns around its weighted center point. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The line attached the lure can then be reeled by the fisherman. After the lure has been recovered, the fisherman will be able to reel in the line until he captures the desired amount of fish.
