This is for novice, as well as experienced, fishermen. It's designed raise you're fishing skill in all fishing categories. This particular blog focuses on becoming an expert dolphin fisherman, and not the porpoise; I'm talking about mahimahi. To the novice fishermen, this information will be vital to your success in your first dolphin fishing exertion. To experienced fishermen, you may think to yourself, "I've been fishing plenty of times and have caught a plethora of different kinds of fish, why would I need a help teaching me how to catch dolphin." Well, if you fall into that category, you're dead wrong. It doesn't matter if you've never been fishing before in you're life, or you've a 40 year grouper and snapper vet, because dolphin fishing is a whole different ballpark. You can brag all you want about how many bass or trout you've caught, but it will do little good in regards to becoming an expert dolphin fisherman. Even if you've been dolphin fishing before, and you've maybe even snagged a few dolphin here and there, regardless, this blog will benifit you're dolphin fishing skill tremendously.
First let's start off with the equipment. For all you fishermen with light action reels, they aren't going to cut it for dolphin, unless you don't mind catching babies or loosing big dolphin. Nope, you're going to need deep see open reels, and for all you who don't know what that means, I'm talking about the fishing rods with the reel that faces up not down. with these, the bigger the better, although unless you plan on catching a huge dolphin, the smaller ones will work fine. You're going to need to equip you're fishing poles with 40-80 pound test to avoid getting you're line snapped. You're also going to need pliers and a knife.


Another thing you have to be aware of is that dolphins frequently travel in school, or packs. That means when you catch one many more are likely to follow. In that case, you should always have bait ready to chum the water with as well as light action reels with hair hooks ready to throw a piece of bait on and drop in the water. Make sure if you do get into a school of dolphin, you always keep one in the water on a hook, as it greatly reduces the chance of the dolphin leaving if one is still there.
Taking all this into consideration, you're officially ready to start dolphin fishing. good luck and keep me updated on you're results.
