Mahi Mahi Fishing in the Daytona Beach Area
Mahi Mahi are very migratory and they can travel at very fast speeds, which allows them to cover 20 to 40 miles in a day. As these fish move through the offshore waters out of the Ponce Inlet, there will be plenty of charters targeting them. The Gulf Stream is 40 to 50 miles out from Ponce Inlet, which is not too far for the bigger charter boats that operate here. The better fishing usually occurs in the spring and fall as mahi mahi migrate through the Daytona Beach area.
Mahi Mahi Fishing Tips
Trolling for mahi mahi is the most conventional way to catch these fish, but more and more anglers are sight fishing for mahi mahi. Because these fish are often found around large weed lines and many different types of floating debris, some anglers will go find these spots and chum these areas to see if they can attract some mahi mahi to the boat. This is very effective and if you hit it right, you could catch several mahi mahi very quickly in these situations.
