The dolphin fish is
arguably the most
unique and prettiest
looking fish of the
sea. It is a beautiful
blue with yellow on their sides and belly. They also have
areas of green on their back. Dolphin fish are found
worldwide in warm ocean waters. These fish can grow to
more than 70 pounds. They are often caught by accident
by anglers trolling for marlin and tuna.
Catching Dolphin
Most are caught by accident fishing for other types of
fish; however, some anglers do go out and target these
fish. They can be caught trolling with rigged balao or
mullet and also with high-speed trolling lures such as strip
baits, trolling feathers and kona heads.
Some fishermen prefer casting for these fish. Weed lines
are excellent spots to cast for dolphin. Small leadhead
jigs with plastic tails or bucktail skirts will work along the
weed edges. Work these jigs back with an irregular
jigging action. It drives dolphin crazy. Other lures that
are good for casting are small swimming plugs, darters
and poppers.
