Catching a mahi mahi, also known as dorado or dolphin fish, typically involves using a fishing rod and reel and fishing in the right location and at the right time. Here are a few tips for catching mahi-mahi:

• Location: Mahi mahi is often found in warm, tropical waters near floating debris, weed lines, and other types of structures such as buoys, logs, and weed patches. They also tend to congregate around schools of baitfish, so look for areas where baitfish are breaking the surface or where birds are diving into the water.
• Time of year: Mahi mahi is typically caught during the warmer months of the year, with the best fishing typically occurring between December and May (Summer Time).
• Technique: Trolling with lures or live bait is a common method for catching mahi-mahi. Use a trolling speed of around 5-8 knots and vary your trolling pattern to cover as much water as possible.
• Gear: Use a strong fishing rod and reel with fast action and a good drag system. Use a braided line with a fluorocarbon leader of at least 30 lb.

It's also important to note that Mahi Mahi is a highly migratory species, and their feeding habits can change depending on the season, water temperature, and location. Therefore, it's always a good idea to ask local anglers or charter boat captains for advice on the best techniques and baits to use in a specific area. And also that Mahi Mahi is a highly valued sport fish for their acrobatic leaps and hard runs and is often considered as a delicacy on the table, but it's important to release them alive if possible to protect the population.

Mahi-mahi, also known as dorado or dolphin fish, are opportunistic feeders that will eat a variety of baits and lures. Some of the best baits for catching mahi-mahi include:

• Live bait: Small fish such as Yellow Tail / Yakka's are a popular choice for catching mahi-mahi. These baits should be hooked through the nose or behind the dorsal fin to mimic the natural swimming action of the baitfish.
• Dead bait: Mahi-mahi will also take dead bait such as squid, mackerel, or pitchard. These baits should be fished on a weighted rig or with a slow-trolling technique.
• Lures: Artificial lures such as feathers, jigs, and plugs are also effective for catching mahi-mahi. These lures should be fished with a fast-trolling technique or by casting and retrieving.
