Mahi Mahi Fishing in the Golden Isles Area
With the Gulf Stream more than 90 miles out from the Golden Isles, you will not find too many anglers fishing for pelagic species near the Gulf Stream in this area. For anglers that do fish the Gulf Stream in this area, the better fishing usually occurs in the spring and fall as they migrate through. Mahi mahi will come closer to shore during the warmer months, so you don’t have to go 90 plus miles out to catch mahi mahi here during the summer, but it’s still a very long boat ride out of the Golden Isles 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.
