Dolphin - Key West Fishing
Known as "dorado" in Latin America and "mahi mahi" in the Pacific, the dolphin is one of the most colorful creatures found anywhere. When excited, these fish light up like a neon sign with brilliant blues, greens, and yellows. Seemingly always ready to take a baited hook, spectacular leaps and stamina, and unbeatable as tablefare, the dolphin is a favorite of all salt water anglers. These fish are caught in sizes ranging from 5 to 60 or more pounds. The smaller fish generally stay in schools of hundreds, whereas the larger ones travel in pairs or small groups. A large male is often found with one or two females. In late spring and summer, floating boards or mats of sargassum weed, in or near the Gulf Stream, are favorite hangouts of these majestic fish.
