The Mahi Mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) is one of Florida's most exciting gamefish, known for its spectacular aerial displays and brilliant coloration. These offshore predators typically range from 15 to 30 pounds in Florida City waters, with larger specimens possible during peak migration periods. Mahi are known for their striking appearance – electric blue backs with golden flanks that create a dazzling light show, especially when actively feeding. They're often found around floating debris, weed lines, and current edges where smaller baitfish congregate. What makes Mahi particularly exciting for anglers is their aggressive feeding behavior and impressive fighting ability once hooked. The waters off Florida City provide excellent habitat for these fish, particularly during fall when water conditions and bait presence create the perfect environment.
When preparing for your Mahi Mahi trip in Florida City, plan for an early morning departure to maximize your time on the water.
