Dolphin

AKA: Dorado / Mahi Mahi Family: Bastard

The Dolphin is characterized by its flashy colors ranging from green to blue to yellow with muttled spots extending down the flanks. A large fan-like dorsal fin runs the entire length of his body leading to a thin forked tail. Males have a deciding more blunt head than the females.

These fish are found in the open sea, alot of times near or at structure and weedlines.

Live baitfish or rigged baitfish as well as cut fish make for the best natural baits, while poppers, plugs and streamers make for the best artificials.
