Gear restrictions
While overfishing mahi–mahi is a real concern, fishing with longlines could have negative consequences for recreational fishing as well as the associated species. Florida's recreational fishing fleet for mahi mahi was responsible for nearly half of a million trips to the coast in one calendar year. This resulted in a strong economic return. You should follow all rules and regulations regarding fishing gear for mahi–mahi.
Mahi-mahi fishermen most commonly use a 30-50-pound class rod, a 7-10 inch hook for ballyhoo and 40-pound braided primary line. For safety reasons, anglers should always carry a ziplock with cut bait. A bag of squid and a cut bait should be on hand at all times. At seven knots per an hour, you should troll. You can catch one by reeling it in quickly.
