Outer Banks Mahi-Mahi Charters

The mahi-mahi species have many names including dolphin fish, dolphin, dolphinfish, dolphin, dorado and mahi mahi. In addition they are very prolific in warm water and can be caught in numbers once you find their hiding spots. Mahi live a complete life cycle in only five years. In turn is one of the few species of fish that the males (bulls) exceed the females in size and can get up to 80 pounds. Although the larger ones usually only travel in pairs, smaller fish are often found in massive schools around floating sargassum or other floating objects. This is another great eating species and anglers are currently allowed to keep ten each.
