Dolphin are one of the most popular fish to fish for in the
world. This is mostly due to the fact that they are found basically everywhere.
There are two different ways to fish for dolphin: live baiting and trolling.
When trolling for dolphin, you want to be between 300 and 300 feet, or roughly
1-25 miles offshore. You will need open faced reels and strong rods. At least 40-pound
test is also needed. If you are using more than one rod, you will need
outriggers to help keep your line from becoming tangled.
There are many different types of baits you can use for trolling. The most common are rigged ballyhoo with skirts. You can pick these up at any marina or bait store. Other baits you can use are artificial bates like lures and gigs with skirts. You will also need a letter of extremely strong line or mono line. When you put your baits out, make sure they are all separate from each other and are at different lengths out to avoid becoming tangled. Make sure that the drags are loosened up a little and the clicker is on as well. When you hear a hit, the clicker will go off. Then all you have to do is take the rod, turn off the clicker, and real em’ in. Make sure to bring a fighting belt and gaf for bigger dolphin.
