Trolling for Dolphin near Orlando Florida

It's Almost a Sure Thing for Mahi Mahi fishing during Spring in Orlando Florida

Words cannot describe the colors and beauty of a fired up mahi mahi chasing the teasers and bait spread in the cobalt blue waters off Port Canaveral, Florida just east of Orlando. Almost immediately upon boating the dorado loses it's fantastic colors and changes too a paler version of it's spectacular rainbow colors as it's thrown to the cooler headed for the dinner table as one of the world's most renowned fish species and it's flavory flesh.

Orlando Florida has great dolphin fishing in the spring time, specifically in April and May and becomes much less consistant during the rest of the year until November when a smaller run follows the fall and ends the warmer weather fishing and calmer water of the summer. Canaveral's dolphin run usually marks the end of the annual run of cobia but there is always a few stragglers around to keep you busy when your pursuing king mackerel or other offshore species.

The dolphin fish (not to be confused with the mammal) has several names that have developed over the years into a more commonly used names for ease on unknowledgeable anglers. The Hawaiian name Mahi Mahi is the most dependable name in restaurants and in other parts of the country the spanish name for the dolphin fish is dorado. A dolphin by any other name is still a dolphin to the old timers in Florida and often gets a few eyebrows raised as the unknowing are caught by surprised when an anglers declares they've caught and killed a dolphin for the dinner table.

Enough about the names of dolphin already! Just east of Orlando a few minutes is some of the best dolphin fishing in the USA when the run is on during April and May. These fish are hard fighting, high jumping and great tasting fare for the table and for those willing to take a chance and head out to the deep blue sea in pursue of the ocean's bounty off Port Canaveral during the spring, you'll have a blast bringing in some of these brutes for a day of fishing fun.

Captain Richard Bradley

Orlando's Best Bet for Dorado and Trolling Offshore

Hello,
Dolphin fishing off Port Canaveral is "as good as it gets" in April and early May east of Orlando in the Atlantic Ocean. "We grow em big during the month of April off Port Canaveral" explains Port Canaveral's longtime charter fishing Captain Brent Hancock. And big they are... during one afternoon one of our charter captain friends boated two over 60 pounds and we managed to land a few in the thirty pound range.

I'm no longer taking large parties offshore fishing, but manage to take one to three anglers out a few times a year for mahi-mahi fishing off Port Canaveral. When the seas are larger than 2-3 feet, and the weather still permits we'll set you up with larger boat and a great charter captain for a smoother ride and a little more cost, but if it's dolphin you're looking to get... you'll often need a bigger boat.

For the anglers wanting a smaller more intimate trip, I have a 24 foot boat equipped with everything needed for a successful day of fishing in the deepest blue seas off Florida's east coast.

When visiting Orlando next time... Look us up for an offshore fishing trip trolling for dolphin and I'll promise you a great time in the Florida sunshine (if it's not too cloudy ;-). We provide the best professional Orlando fishing guide service for you and or your family while visiting Orlando and trolling and sight fishing for dorado.

"We had a great day of dolphin fishing with Captain Richard this April and we'll be back again soon." explains the three anglers pictured above.
