  • Hey everyone welcome back to another video. This trip Jimmy and I wandered offshore in my Parker 1801 looking for local dorado in the morning. We found one bird diving and headed that direction to find an open water school of dorado up on the surface chasing tiny sardines. We slid up on them and got a few of them to bite before several other boats saw us and ran over the school.

    You can filet the mahi all the way the up to above the eye. There is some good meat up there. No taco left behind. Great video.

    Glad to see someone who knows the backwards hat has business only inside, never outside where they burn their face up. It's advanced stuff to know to wear the hat--bill forward when outdoors. Great video, cool fish.

    Brother I went Out multiple times last summer for dorado and found em every time. First time skippering out boat offshore. Every single time could not get a damn sniff. Going for redemption this summer.We are slipped in Dana Point. I guess if they arent chewing the live deans chunking them sometimes work.

    • @fluentfishing

      They can definitely be frustrating sometimes when they dont want to eat. Slow trolling on light line with small hooks sometimes works for us. I have noticed that early in the morning they bite best, ones that I spear when they have lockjaw have their stomachs completely full.

    Love the content!! Me and my lady just got into surf fishing and we want to get on a charter somewhere out of Long Beach, marina del Rey or Oxnard. Do you have any suggestions on any to take or any advice in general? Our plan is to eventually get a boat that we can take out to Catalina but have no idea where to start. Thanks dude!!

    • @fluentfishing
      @fluentfishing  2 роки тому

      Starting on the charter boats is definitely a good idea! Ask the deckhands questions and watch anyone on the boat that seems to be catching more than everyone else. They’re usually happy to share info as well. 10 percent of the fisherman catch 90 percent of the fish

    • @adamschwartz5072

      Check out the Speed Twin in Oxnard. It's a great boat to start on, great crew and tons of space to fish even when the boat is full.

    In Malta 🇲🇹 (Europe)we catch the mahi mahi at a very young stage it a common traditional fishing for what we call “Lampuki” as they pass from our sea around August September to migrate to costa rica and Indian Ocean.

    you dont need to chum when there is a baitball the size of a football field around your boat. What do you think they are boiling on. SMH

    • @fluentfishing
      @fluentfishing  2 роки тому +1

      You do when they aren’t eating sardine and are keyed in on 1/2 inch anchovy. Only way we could get the bites is with a handful of chummed sardine and casting a hooked one at the same time. But you were there so you’d know. SMH

    Catching a dorado is the last thing on my bucket list. You manage to make it look very boring.
