Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)

Also known as Mahi-Mahi or Dolphin, Dorado fishing is fun whatever you call them! They're aggressive eaters, hard fighters, beautiful and incredibly good to eat. They'll hit almost anything. Fly fishing for dorado is a bit more difficult, but they will hit a fly, then get ready for a fight!

They will eat almost anything so 10-15 inch artificial lures like rubber skirts or teaser birds on trolling lures for Tuna or Wahoo will work just fine. Since they respond very well to baitfish, sardines or mackerel will make perfect natural baits.

Get ready for an exciting battle.

It is important to remember that Dorado are determined fighters, so anglers should brace themselves for a tough battle. Get ready for numerous incredible jumps, each of which is a colorful breathtaking spectacle which will be impossible to forget. Dorado are FAST, and can rip line off the real at incredible speeds.

They're beautiful fish.

Their unique shape in combination with their almost glowing, greenish-blue golden appearance make the Dorado very appealing. Yet, as soon as the Dorado is pulled out of the water, that vibrant color very quickly drains into a watery blue.

Healthy and delicious to eat.

One of the best things about dorado fishing is that they are just so good to eat. This fish has many similarities to flavor and texture to the ever-popular tuna and swordfish. yet it contains its own unique qualities that make it among the tastiest of fish.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
