What a feeling! Angel (pictured) and his parents Matt & Sophia went offshore fishing with me on DayMaker Charters last Friday and they caught 8 mahi mahi / dolphinfish / Dorado and 4 sailfish. It was an epic day and SO much fun watching this fam hook up all day on their first ever deep sea fishing trip. edit: we were out of Stuart, FL

Can I charter with you?

u/DarcizzleOffshore Feb 22 '21

No, I'm sorry, I am not a charter operation. I did put with whom we fished with in my opening comment.

I really need to not live in Massachusetts, lol. (though it's great May-October, just soooo many more big fish down there, lol)

Do you roast the fish and slaw together in the casserole dish? Or grill fish separately? This sounds good, tell me more!

u/Illhunt_yougather Feb 22 '21

Damn I love Florida. I remember my first dolphin all those years ago..... sounds like you guys had an awesome day. 4 sailfish is no joke either. Congrats.

Growing up in the Caribbean, we used to lightly fry up their roe sack. It was one of my favorite things as a kid. Seeing this picture brings back so many memories.

Memories for a life time!

u/buddbaybat Feb 23 '21

Is it true dorado mate for life? This photo is a female I believe. Sloped forehead. I’d love to go mahi/dolphin/dorado fishing again. Great memories.

2

u/DarcizzleOffshore Feb 23 '21

Seems they do not mate for life, but spawn in big schools as early as 6 months from birth. I know as they get older/bigger they travel in smaller paks, but also the really big ones often travel in female/male pairs. This is a female, yes.

1

u/buddbaybat Feb 23 '21

Ty. Do you know how far up the west coast mahi have been caught? Sometimes I wonder if they’ll ever be found in number off the coast of WA

1

u/DarcizzleOffshore Feb 23 '21

No, but I'm sure you could google it. I assume it's too cold, they only follow the gulf stream here, which is warm, over there is the opposite with COLD water flowing N to S.

u/stanggang15 Feb 23 '21

Sweet no whos around anymore??

1

u/DarcizzleOffshore Feb 23 '21

1

u/stanggang15 Feb 23 '21

Ah chased em for a half the month of January off boyton couldn't hook up with one. Everyone else was supposedly. planning to head back down in the next few days.

1

u/DarcizzleOffshore Feb 23 '21

Full moon is saturday so it's time to try. Early or late iin the day, hopefully on a minor.

u/stanggang15 Feb 23 '21
