In fact, recreational fishing for mahi-mahi produced nearly half a million trips in Florida alone in one year, generating a strong economic return for the state. It is important to adhere to the rules and regulations when fishing for mahi -mahi.
Mahi-mahi fishermen use a 30--50 pound rod, a 7-inch or 9-inch hook to catch ballyhoo and a 40-pound braided mainline. It is important to always have cut bait in a ziplock bag with you, as this will ensure safety for anglers. Always have a bag of squid or cut bait on you. Troll at 7 knots an hour.

Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. If you don’t want take too much time returning to your boat after each cast, this is the best choice. The spinning rod's purpose is to let you cast from any position and keep control of your line. The rod has three main components; handle, butt section, and reel seat. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The rod's tip is attached to the hook at the butt section. Finally, the reel seat holds the reel onto which the line is attached. There are many rod options available today. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others can be used in a variety ways, such as fly fishing and spin fishing.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. If you are fishing for smaller species, such a trout or salmon, a lighter weight rod may work better. You can even buy multiple rod sizes depending on the size of the fish you want to catch.
Spinning Rods aren't limited to freshwater fisherman. They are also used frequently for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them to cast further distances. A spinning rod is not the best choice for saltwater fishing. First, saltwater spinningrods don't come with reels. You must buy one individually. The second reason is that they can be quite expensive. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. Fish might also mistake the lure as food and start eating it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The lure's line can then be reeled in by a fisherman. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
