As the summer wears on, Dolphin action off of Bimini contiues hot. Everyone loves those unmistakable dophin colors under the glare of the water, bright neon blue with the touch of gold, and yes that means the mahi-mahi are here. They are out in full force in packs of 20 even 30 fish on a single school and they all have sizes from 10 to 30 lbs in each school. Our last trip brought us fish from 30 plus pound fish and most of the schoolies in the 10 pound range.

Is this great or what?

Most of our fish came on live bait. I was running and site casting at the fish, and a few came on a small BOST lure "tuna candy" which has proven year after year to be a fish killer for us even catching marlin on.

Our first group of fish came of a loggerhead which had a nice size group with her and the rest of the fish were caught on a weed line. We often run and look for birds working the weed lines but for the last couple of trips the birds have not been on the weed lines.

The weeds have plenty of bait under them, so take your time and work the patches, trolling seems to be real productive rite now for the big fish.
