They mostly eat fish, so traditional baitfish like sardines and Pacific Mackerel work well. The larger the fish, the larger the bait they'll grab. Cut bait like shrimp and ballyhoo works well, too, but cut false albacore will drive them wild. Here are a few other rigging ideas that work well with Dorado.
From everywhere, how do you attract mahi mahi?
To catch these mahi, put a whole squid or live bait on your spinning rod, pull up to the debris, drop the bait in, and just let it sink on its own and drift with the debris. If you catch a jack or another fish, just leave it hooked up in the water.
Hence, what is the best bait to use to catch fish? Let's look at some of the most popular live baits to choose from.
WORMS. Worms are the quintessential fishing bait for a reason. ...
LEECHES. If the water has a strong current, or the fish keep getting the worm without getting hooked, try fishing with leeches instead. ...
MINNOWS. ...
CRICKETS.
On another note, how fast should you troll for mahi?
Mahi Mahi are aggressive fish and will eat fast as well. Professionals tell you to troll for Mahi Mahi between 2 and 9 knots. Try varying speeds until you get a bite, but more importantly be consistent and make sure you keep the boat moving at a steady pace.
How do I catch a Dorado?
Most Dorado are caught on trolling lures such as rubber skirts meant for Marlin or Sailfish or feathers meant for Tuna. They also hit trolled plugs such as Rapalas. If Dorado are concentrated in an area, either through chumming or because there is a piece of floating debris, a wide variety of lures may be cast to them.
