The spring and summer months bring plenty of Florida Dolphin Fishing throughout the keys. Dolphin are also known as Florida Mahi Mahi. There is usually a mix of smaller 'schoolie' fish along with bigger 'bulls.' Bull dolphin are the male fish with a more square head, and the 'cows' are there female counter parts. Dolphin in the Keys are often caught trolling baits and lures. Many times captains will run around and look for birds which are following schools of fish and bait, and are a good indicator of where to fish. When throwing baits to a school of dolphin, often times dead bait is used, though occasionally fish are picky and it helps to have some live pilchards or the like. One rule when in a big pack of dolphin is always leave one in the water (usually a schoolie, smaller fish) in order to keep the rest of the school following you. You often will see dolphin jumping when they know they are hooked, which is very impressive! The captains at Bud N' Mary's are true professionals when it comes to catching big Islamorada Dolphin! http://www.seethefloridakeys.net
