Every April anglers up and down the Florida coast gear up for the Spring Mahi Mahi run. This is best time of year to load up on Mahi and get a chance at a trophy fish. Trolling is the most popular way to target these fish, and all skill levels can join in on the action. I share a simple and effective trolling spread that I use to raise Dolphin fish aka Mahi Mahi. Teasers are essential and a wide assortment of baits is needed to figure out what is working that day. Even on a small boat without outriggers I'm able to comfortably troll a five rod spread. A shotgun rod with a cedar plug, a Zuker feather and Islander ballyhoo combo on outrodders, a flat line with a Zuker feather, and a deep Rapala XRAP deep diving plug. Fishing out of St Lucie inlet on Florida's treasure coast I head out ready to troll at sunrise. In 280 feet I have a double header and boat the first fish. I find a great rip with a weed line in the area with bird activity. These are tell tale signs of Mahi in the area. I boat two more fish before the bite slows from a ton of boat traffic. This could be the busiest time of year on the water.
