Port Canaveral Fishing

Summertime Mahi! The biggest mistake I used to make when I started fishing offshore and trying to target Mahi was thinking I had to run 25 miles + offshore to catch them during the Summer months. More often than not I would not catch a single one and would end up fighting Barracuda and Bonita all day. When I finally stopped trying to catch them and would come in closer to bottom fish on ledges in 70-90 ft of water I would find myself catching them a lot more often. The first time or two I figured it was just a random fluke, but then I started catching them almost every time I went out. There are a couple of things that I am doing though that have helped. Catch live bait. I spent months practicing and learning how to throw a 12′ cast net specifically to be able to fish with live bait. This one addition to my fishing game I feel has made the most impact and increased my hookups exponentially. Several of the Mahi we have caught recently have been caught while slow trolling or flat lining a Pogey while bottom fishing. The Mahi can not seem to resist them. Always have a pitch rod ready. This is how we caught both Mahi on our trip yesterday. On the way out we came across a piece of floating wood in 75 ft, I quickly grabbed our pitch rod that is set up with a 60lb mono leader and a 5/0 circle hook and put a Pogey on and pitched it over to the log. Within seconds a Mahi came swimming up. I opened up the bail, waited a few seconds for him to eat it and line started tearing out and then BAM, closed the bail! FISH ON! Later in the day while we were bottom fishing two more Mahi swam up to the boat and we tossed out a few cut up pieces of squid to keep them around for a minute while we grabbed our pitch rods. We put a piece of cut squid on one and a Pogey on the other. We hooked up on both. The one that ate the Pogey jumped and spit the hook but we landed the other on the cut up piece of squid. These two things are what have contributed to my recent success. I hope you find success with the tips as well. Good luck and tight lines! In town for a few days? New to the area?
