Hey there legends! As you can tell, in this video we were lucky enough to hook into a few beautiful dolphinfish, also known as mahi mahi or dorado. We actually went out chasing some snapper off the Gold Coast at first light, but when they weren't biting we needed a 'plan b'.
Dolphinfish are a pelagic fish that love to hang around floating objects. Logs, seaweed, coral spawn, rope, and any other floating debris attract sea life and the mahi mahi love to hang around them. Luckily here in South East Queensland, the Queensland Government deploy FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices) in different depths. These are a great option when trying to find fish around the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast as well as New South Wales and Western Australia.
These fish are extremely popular worldwide due to their spectacular fights, their size, and their stunning looks. As well as this, they're delicious when looking for a feed. You will see all of this throughout the video, as well plenty of tips on how to catch mahi mahi for yourself!
