What is mahi mahi fishing in St. Petersburg all about?

In St. Petersburg, Florida, anglers have the opportunity to target a variety of species aside from tarpon, including the vibrant and highly sought-after mahi-mahi, also known as dolphinfish. Mahi-mahi are renowned for their dazzling colors, spirited fights, and delicious flesh, making them a prized catch for fishermen of all skill levels. During the warmer months, mahi-mahi can be found in abundance in the offshore waters of St. Petersburg, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures where they congregate to feed on baitfish and crustaceans.

One effective technique for targeting mahi-mahi in St. Petersburg is trolling offshore with a spread of colorful lures and rigged baits. Anglers commonly use small to medium-sized trolling lures, such as skirted baits, diving plugs, or squid imitations, to mimic the prey items favored by mahi-mahi. Additionally, deploying rigged ballyhoo or small baitfish as natural baits can entice these pelagic predators. By covering a wide area of water at varying depths and speeds, fishermen increase their chances of encountering schools of mahi-mahi actively feeding near the surface or in deeper waters.

Another productive method for pursuing mahi-mahi in St. Petersburg is by live bait fishing near offshore structures such as buoys, oil rigs, or weed lines. Using live baitfish like pilchards, threadfin herring, or squid can attract mahi-mahi lurking beneath the surface. Anglers often employ a combination of live bait rigs, such as free-lining or using weighted rigs, to present the bait at different depths and entice strikes from these voracious predators.

    Captain Dimitri is a great fishing guild, extremely knowledgeable of the area and the target species you can go after.

    We had an absolutely awesome experience with Captain Greg and Deckhand Ali. We knew ahead of time that the water was going to be a bit choppy and that there would be higher than usual winds, but that didn’t deter the Captain from finding perfect fishing spots for us on our half day charter. Both fellas are super knowledgeable and shared lots of gulf marine life info with us; even stopping to check crab traps and showing us how the eco system is balance. An added bonus is the restaurant located at the marina where the fishing vessel docks; Greg filleted our fish haul from the day and the super friendly staff cooked up our catch and served up tacos for a late lunch. If in the area again, we’d definitely book Captain Greg and his friendly Deckhand Ali for our fishing excursion. They are an awesome team.

    The trip I had with Captain Roy was amazing! Being from out of town he was very helpful because I'm used to fishing for pan fish and fishing in Florida is a little different then that.

I'll definitely be planning on another trip with Captain Roy.
