Mahi Mahi Fishing in the Space Coast 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 Space Coast, there will be plenty of charters targeting them. With the Gulf Stream 30 to 40 miles out from Port Canaveral, this is a popular area for offshore angling among anglers and fishing charters. The better fishing usually occurs in the spring and fall as they migrate through. Anglers use the Port Canaveral port to access the reefs and wrecks in the nearshore and offshore waters.
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.
