Welcome to the Stage Carlabear. Up here we look for anything floating, offshore. Buoys, pallets, weed patches, buckets, really anything. Troll as close as you can to the floatsom, or stop and cast as close as you can. They like to hide in the shade underneath. Good luck.

Here on the East coast of Florida, we troll at varying depths from on the surface to about 15 ft. They usually hit the deeper one first and then attack the surface baits. In the winter and spring in about 150 to 200 ft of water and in the summer and fall in 300+. Troll near a weed line if you can. Personally, I like to troll at about 6 or 7 knots. I know it's a little faster than some fisherman like, that's just my personal preference.
Tight lines!

In our area, Maui are usually an incidental catch in the summer. Usually around something floating in depths greater than 60’

Hi Carla-You will probably have go way offshore. I have fished for dolphin (mahi) since I was in my teens having grown up in Miami, you need to find "blue" water and up here (I live in Tally area) you need to get closer to Panama City where the "loop current" comes close in to shore. Mahi or dolphin ride the warm water currents all over the world, probably the most universal big game fish there is. I have fished out of St. Marks the last 25 years going out up to 25 miles offshore and the bottom structure on this side off appalachicola is way to shallow. Go over to PCB and grab an all day charter late in the summer they are a common catch over there. Oh and say hello on "big bend " as I've read some of your posts there.
