Mahi
Mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado, are an offshore pelagic species prized for their acrobatic fights and firm, flavorful meat. In the Northeast, they are primarily found in warmer offshore Atlantic waters from New Jersey to Maine, often near weed lines, floating debris, and ocean currents where baitfish gather.
Prime fishing areas include offshore waters along New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and southern Maine, with the best opportunities during late spring through early fall, when warm ocean currents bring mahi closer to the region. Anglers typically target them from offshore charter or private boats using trolling lures, live bait, or chunking techniques.
Mahi provide fast, thrilling runs and spectacular aerial displays, offering high-adrenaline offshore fishing for Northeast anglers seeking both sport and table-quality fish.
