Mahi Delight

Pompano Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
As I thought might happen there has been a late push of Mahi (dolphin) showing up offshore in the gulfstream. We have had quite a few charters wanting to catch mahi and we did not disappoint. Most of the Mahi we have been catching are either heavy lifters or gaffer size mahi. We have not been catching our limit most trips but the size of the mahis this time of year tend to be larger than your average size schoolie. Our largest mahi last month was 30lbs. I still believe as with last year these mahi will be around thru September. Mahi can be caught year round, but their migration usually tapers off in late august.
We have also done a few daytime swordfish trips and have had some success. We had 3 trips and caught one swordfish. The other trips we had bites but were unable to stay connected. September through November are the best months to target the swordfish as they migrate through South Florida. As with mahi, swordfish are caught throughout the year, but the prime months September thru November.
We have not fished the edge at all the past month, but the reports are they are catching a decent amount of sailfish along with an occasional blackfin tuna and kingfish.
The next few months are prime time for Daytime swordfish. So if catching a true monster swordfish is what you have been dreaming about, give me a call to book a trip. You will also have a chance to catch mahi as we often due running to and from the swordfish grounds.
Catch Em Up,
