Local Species Insights: Mahi Mahi
Mahi Mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) are one of the most exciting offshore species to target near Vero Beach. These colorful, hard-fighting fish are known for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs when hooked. They're typically found around floating debris, weed lines, and current edges where bait concentrates. We've had particular success trolling ballyhoo and artificial lures when targeting these fish, though they'll also readily hit jigs and even fly tackle.
Fall is a fantastic time to target Mahi Mahi in our waters, with the fish averaging 15-30 pounds. The offshore waters around Vero Beach provide consistent action, with most productive spots being 5-12 miles out where temperature breaks hold concentrations of fish. Their brilliant colors and delicious white meat make them both a thrilling catch and excellent table fare.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your offshore fishing adventure begins early, typically departing at first light to maximize fishing time. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, light layers, and a camera to capture your catches. While all fishing equipment is provided, you're welcome to bring your favorite gear if preferred. Our boat is equipped with comfortable seating, shade, and marine restroom facilities to ensure your comfort throughout the day. We'll handle all fish cleaning and bagging at the end of your trip so you can take home your delicious catch.
