Mahi (Coryphaena hippurus), also known as dolphinfish, is a colorful and fast-swimming fish found in warm waters around the world. Mahi mahi are typically found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, especially off the coast of South Florida, the Caribbean, and Hawaii. They are popular targets for both sport and commercial fishing due to their size, beauty, and delicious meat.
The best time to catch mahi in South Florida is during the warmer months, from spring through early fall (April to September). Mahi mahi are migratory fish, and during these months, they are more active and abundant, making them easier to target. Offshore waters in South Florida are particularly productive during these seasons, as mahi mahi tend to be found near floating debris, weed lines, or around temperature breaks.
The best times of day to catch mahi are early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Mahi are more active during these cooler periods when feeding is most common. Early morning trips right after sunrise are particularly effective, as the fish are more likely to be near the surface, feeding aggressively. Late afternoon, when the sun starts to set, can also be a great time for a successful catch.
