Islamorada Mahi Mahi Charters
Offshore Hunting | The Humps | 8 Hours
What is a mahi mahi charter in Islamorada?
An Islamorada mahi mahi charter is a full-day offshore trip focused on trolling weed lines, current edges, birds, floating debris, and the Humps for dolphin fish. These trips are especially good in spring and summer and can turn chaotic fast when a school shows up behind the boat.
Offshore mahi mahi hunting in the Florida Keys
This is a full-day offshore charter built around mahi-mahi hunting. Our 8+ hour trip starts with catching live bait at the reef, then we run to The Humps, the undersea mountains near Islamorada.
From there we troll and keep watch for diving birds and floating debris, which usually means fish are holding underneath.
The "Schoolie" Chaos
Once we hook a Mahi, if the school follows it to the boat, we switch fast to spinning gear and live bait. That is the fun part, hooking fish right next to the boat and gaffing the big bulls into the cooler.
