Mahi-Mahi is a very common by catch on the sword grounds in the spring and summer. We also catch various bottom species, like Pomfret, while sword fishing. We like to head straight out to the sword grounds and fish for swords as long as we can to give you the highest chance of landing a swordfish. While sword fishing, we can flatline a bait out of the back of the boat for any Mahi-Mahi swimming by and we can jig or toss bait out to fish swimming by with spinners.
