Although Mahi-mahi can be found throughout the year (except for March and September), they are most abundant in March and September. It is easy to catch Mahi-mahi using light-weight fishing tackle or live bait. Although they are typically only around 20 pounds, they can reach 82 pounds in Hawaiian waters. These fish are easy to identify by their golden bodies and bright green and blue sides. They are also known for their spectacular aerial displays.
There are plenty of charters to choose from on Maui. You'll find all types of fishing charters here, from half-day excursions to 8-hour charters. While you're out on the water, you'll likely haul in several species of fish and be rewarded with a prized trophy. A spectacular view of the water will also await you!

Overfishing mahi-mahi can be a concern. However, longline fishing could also have a negative impact on recreational fishing and the species it supports. 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. It is important to adhere to the rules and regulations when fishing for mahi -mahi.
Mahi-mahi fishermen usually use a 30-50lb class rod, 7- or 9-inch bait hook for ballyhoo, as well as a 40-pound braided mainline. A ziplock bag containing cut bait is a good idea to keep with you when fishing. A bag of squid and a cut bait should be on hand at all times. At seven knots per an hour, you should troll. Re-cast if you catch one.

- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)

Why use a spinning arrow?
Spinning Rods are useful for casting your lure into the waters without leaving the boat. It's a great choice if you don't want to lose too much time getting back into the boat after every cast. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. The rod has three main components; handle, butt section, and reel seat. The handle is used to hold the rod, and the shaft. The rod's tips are attached to the hook by the butt portion. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many rod options available today. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others can be used for a variety of purposes, such as fly fishing, spin-fishing, and bait fishing.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. A lighter-weight rod might work best if you were targeting smaller species like trout or salmon. You could even go so far as to buy several rod sizes depending on how big the fish you hope to catch is.
Spinning rods aren't just for freshwater fishing. They are used extensively for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinningrods are heavier than their freshwater counterparts. They require stronger materials in order to withstand saltwater. In addition, saltwater spinners usually feature a larger diameter rod with a shorter length. This allows them to cast further distances. However, keep in mind that there are some downsides to using a spinning rod for saltwater fishing. First, saltwater spinningrods don't come with reels. You must buy one individually. The second reason is that they can be quite expensive. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
A method of fishing that involves using a spinning rod and a weighted lure to cast into the water is called spin fishing. When the lure is in the water, it will spin around the weighted central point. This causes the lure move erratically through the water, making fish difficult to spot. Fish might also mistake the lure as food and start eating it. It will then attract more fish to the lure. The line attached the lure can then be reeled by the fisherman. Once the lure is recovered, the fisherman may continue this process until he has caught all the fish he desires.
