I typically never troll ballyhoo. You have to troll slower as to not blast them out. It is a good idea to have a few ready with and a pitch rod that you can zip them at the school if they burn the side of the boat. The pink squid skirt with the mylar skirt underneath on this video is ALWAYS on my short rod. Wahoo tend to love it as well for some reason, I have caught multiple wahoo trolling for mahi on this lure. When you set it up the hook needs to be at the end of the lure. It can't be up in the lure an inch. Typically I space it about 1 inch. Wahoo will clip the very tail of the lure and if the hook is not at the end you will not hook them. Squid skirt is 4" overall lure is 6" once assembled. I have links for Amazon in the description. I use the light pink. I would also rig a blue/white one as well. I use the white color mylar. The hook is a 7'0. It tends to work very well in weeds as well (none are perfect). Cheap, easy and effective.
Thanks for the Intel. I fish here 2 weeks out of the year, 0:10 and it is much appreciated. It's very different from my port, Ponce Inlet. I'm still trying to get it dialed in down here after many years. But, we do get a few mahi. I definitely tell people about your channel. It's the most informative Keys fishing channel I've seen. Found you from the SFFC, Hieko is cool too. We on our 2 week trip Marathon now. Looks like it's going to blow for a bit.
When you were fighting one of those dolphin it appeared to me the motors were correcting them selves. Some sort of auto pilot or just an illusion, which is very possible with my eyes

LOL yes auto pilot on heading hold!
Out there fishing around one of theire drones ? Wth
They are in my spot!
More than likely Hati just dumped an reentered prison that are headed to the US protected by the Coast guard.
Seen that as well, check out the video.
No telling what's under that Drone.
Mahi!
ARE YOU A Fbi agent

They definitely know your Nota Trump Supporter or you would be a lost at sea mystery .
I do have a flag flying in my yard.
You’re great Sr. and I follow you.
