🐠How to catch the Exotic MAHI-MAHI or Pez Dorado❓ 🌊 The fish lives in three oceans: the Atlantic, the Indian, the Pacific. The most popular place to catch this fish in the Atlantic is the Caribbean islands. In our case Punta Cana. 🎣For the capture of Mahi-Mahi Pez Dorado it is usually used: – In our case Trolling; - Adrift; – Classic spinning of the ship. 🔱The main tool to catch the Mahi-Mahi Pez Dorado is spinning in the sea, up to 2.3 meters long. To equip the marine yarn used: Multiplier coils capable of withstanding up to 300 meters; Mono or Dacron rope; Reliable and sharp hook. ⚓ Lures in the Mahi-Mahi Pez Dorado. As a mouthpiece for this fish is used: – Meat of small crustaceans (shrimps, crabs); – Meat cephalopods (squid); – Any small fish (whole or sliced). 🎏As artificial baits used: – Lobed Wobblers; – Heavy oscillating spinners; – Artificial squid; – Artificial tread (length from 17 to 25 cm); – Imitation of flying fish; – Team with replanting of natural flying fish. 🔎To search for the package you need to use the echosounder. But the best indicator of the appearance of a school of Mahi-Mahi Pez Dorado in the area is the activity of the volatile fish that begin to jump out of the water.

Congratulations on your capture and your excellent day with us, we hope that your story becomes known and that future wonderful people like you manage to get the true service they need. View Original Post Here... Words from our guest Seriously the highlight of our vacation! I love a good story and here is one for you! We were to go deep sea fishing on Tuesday and lack of speaking the language, we waited at the wrong place and missed our boat! So they rescheduled us for today! We booked a max 6 person deep sea fishing boat! When we got there they were trying to put 11 people in one boat when we paid for 6. Not speaking the language, you just got to go with the flow. The other family was ticked it was such a large group and were fighting for a refund! (In Spanish! ) Meanwhile the 4 men from Cuba that chartered a private tour boat that we rode over with knew we didn’t speak Spanish….when they saw us caught up in that mess….they told the man for us to jump in their boat! So essentially we upgraded to a private tour and they translated along the way for us! Such a great group of men! Very thankful and blessed! Everything happens for a reason!

Blue Marlin COMMON NAME: Blue Marlin SCIENTIFIC NAME: Makaira nigricans TYPE: Fish DIET: Carnivore GROUP NAME: School AVERAGE LIFE SPAN: 27 years (females); 18 years (males) SIZE: Up to 14 feet WEIGHT: Up to 1,985 pounds SIZE RELATIVE TO A 6-FT MAN: ABOUT THE BLUE MARLIN The strikingly beautiful blue marlin is the largest of the Atlantic marlins and one of the biggest fish in the world. Size Females, which are significantly larger than males, can reach 14 feet in length and weigh more than 1,985 pounds. Average sizes tend to be in the range of 11 feet and 200 to 400 pounds. Coloring and Characteristics Native to the tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, blue marlins are among the most recognizable of all fish. They are cobalt-blue on top and silvery-white below, with a pronounced dorsal fin and a long, lethal, spear-shaped upper jaw. Habitat and Diet They are so-called blue-water fish, spending most of their lives far out at sea. They are also highly migratory, and will follow warm ocean currents for hundreds and even thousands of miles. Blue marlins prefer the higher temperature of surface waters, feeding on mackerel and tuna, but will also dive deep to eat squid. They are among the fastest fish in the ocean, and use their spears to slash through dense schools, returning to eat their stunned and wounded victims. Commercial and Sport Fishing Known for putting up a tremendous fight when hooked, these rare marine monsters are the holy grail for sport fishers. Their meat is considered a delicacy, particularly in Japan, where it is served raw as sashimi. Although not currently endangered, conservationists worry that they are being unsustainably fished, particularly in the Atlantic.

They prefer warm surface temperatures greater than 22 °C. Identification There is the possibility of confusing the White Marlin with the Swordfish. As described in the name, the round-scale swordfish has a round broadband front end of its scales. The white needle scales are more rigid and rounded in the posterior region of the scale. Taxonomy and evolution In 1860, Felipe Poey gave the White Marlin the name Tetrapturus albidus. This classification places the species in the same genus as shortbill spearfish, Mediterranean spearfish, roundscale spearfish, and longbill spearfish. Researchers have identified fossils from the genus Tetrapturus dating back to the Langhian Age 15 million years ago (Mya). Appearance and anatomy The largest White Marlin reported was: Size: 2.8 m (9.2 feet) Weight: 82 kg (180.8 lb) The coloring of White Marlin is used as countershading, with a dark blue dorsal side and a dirty white ventral side. Though all White Marlin have the same coloring pattern, they are sexually dimorphic, with the females usually larger. One of the most noticeable features of White Marlin is the dorsal fin, which extends along the majority of the dorsal portion of its body. The dorsal fin consists of typically 28 to 46 rays. White Marlin have a set of similar pectoral fins and pelvic fins. Feeding and diet Within your

Wahoo Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) is a scombrid fish found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. It is best known to sports fishermen, as its speed and high-quality flesh makes it a prized game fish. The flesh of the wahoo is white to grey, delicate to dense, and highly regarded by many cuisines. The taste has been said to be similar to mackerel. This has created some demand for the wahoo as a premium-priced commercial food fish. In many areas of its range, such as Hawaii, Bermuda, and many parts of the Caribbean, local demand for wahoo is met by artisanal commercial fishermen who take them primarily by trolling. Recreational sports fishermen also sell their catch. Wahoo, which is popularly called Hoo in the US, are successfully fished with live bait around deep-water oil and gas platforms in the Gulf during the winter months. Description Its body is elongated and covered with small, scarcely visible scales; the back is an iridescent blue, while the sides are silvery with a pattern of irregular vertical blue bars. These colors fade rapidly during death. The mouth is large, and the teeth of the wahoo are razor sharp. Both the upper and lower jaws have a somewhat sharper appearance than those of king or Spanish mackerel. Specimens have been recorded at up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) in length, and weighing up to 83 kg (183 lb). Growth can be rapid. Wahoo can swim up to 60 mph (96.5606 km/h). They are some of the fastest fish in the sea. The wahoo may be distinguished from the related Atlantic king mackerel and from the Indo-Pacific narrow-barred Spanish mackerel by a fold of skin which covers the mandible when its mouth is closed. In contrast, the mandible of the king mackerel is always visible

Its body is elongated and covered with small, scarcely visible scales; the back is an iridescent blue, while the sides are silvery with a pattern of irregular vertical blue bars.

Both the upper and lower jaws have a somewhat sharper appearance than those of king or Spanish mackerel.

The wahoo may be distinguished from the related Atlantic king mackerel and from the Indo-Pacific narrow-barred Spanish mackerel by a fold of skin which covers the mandible when its mouth is closed. In contrast, the mandible of the king mackerel is always visible as it is also the case for the smaller Spanish mackerel and Cero mackerel. The teeth of the wahoo are similar to those of king mackerel, but shorter and more closely set together.
The barracuda is sometimes confused with the mackerel and wahoo, but it is easy to distinguish from the latter two species. Barracuda have prominent scales, larger, dagger-like teeth, and lack the caudal keels and blade-like (forked) tail characteristic of the scombrids.
