Mahi Mahi Fishing in Marathon
Get ready for a high-speed, acrobatic battle with the Mahi Mahi, one of the ocean's most vibrant and exciting sportfish. These pelagic powerhouses are a favorite for anglers seeking a thrilling offshore experience.
Mahi fishing off Marathon is best from late spring through summer, roughly April to August, when they move along the weed lines and floating debris offshore. We troll for them and pitch baits once fish show up, and they jump and run hard when hooked.
Mahi Mahi
Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, mahi mahi are known for their speed, hard strikes and bright colors that flash as they jump. They live in warm offshore water and feed on small fish, squid and crustaceans, usually around weed lines, floating sargassum and debris where baitfish gather. Off Marathon they are a main target on the offshore trips, found by trolling rigged ballyhoo and skirted lures, then casting or pitching baits once a fish or a school is up.
