Yeap... wait for the millenial crowd that believes "dolphinfish" are actually cute marine mammals !!!! Same crowd that thinks Spielberg killed a T-Rex with a rifle

Killing T-Rex was disgusting. I was so fond of him

No apologies needed Mike. Some people still catch mahi mahi (sounds like a disease to me!) instead of "dorado"

Oh, you mean Dolphin Fish?

What happens if you get Dorado, Mahi and Dolphin fish all on the same trip

Not nearly as disgusting as killing fish that play with balls and rescue poodles that fall off boats.

In Robson green's book, that would be a Grand Slam

Families with Kids having a blast Dorado Fishing.
Offshore Fishing Report – Durban – 13 January 2019
As a skipper there is nothing that satisfies me more than when we take kids out fishing with Mom and Dad and we get them hooked up into a nice Dorado for the first time in their lives. Many times it is their first experience at sea, and for me to see their shear excitement, and amazement when they hold on to that rod, sometimes with Mom and Dad’s help and the exhilaration when that brightly coloured beautiful Dorado comes on board totally makes my day. On both Fat Girl and Nawty Girl these Kids had a blast.

Dorado (Mahi) Fishing still great and some Tuna coming in.
Offshore Fishing Report – Durban
So far we have had a superb Dorado season, it started early with a big fish; pretty much we getting Dorado every trip. Yellowfin Tuna were scarce for a while but they are now starting to show up. Marlin have also been around. The current seems to have settled and we have some nice warm water so we expect Wahoo to show up anytime, they are late. The next 3-4 months are looking to provide us with some great fishing with Fat Girl, Nawty Girl and McFire ready for action.

Fishing in the Rain.
Offshore Fishing Report – Durban 26-01-2019
We met our clients this morning in heavy rain and gave them the option to go the next day but they wanted to fish, other than the rain the conditions were very nice and so the short 5hr trip got going at 06h00. We trolled out to the reefs to do some bottoms and hooked a Dorado on the way. Bottoms produced some nice reds. On the way back we hooked into a large Wahoo which really gave a great Arial display before biting through the leader. I am pleased that we are starting to see Wahoo as they have been absent from our waters so far.

Game fishing season in full swing.
Offshore Fishing Report – Durban 01-02-2019
Sunrise is getting a little later each morning and most days are hot and humid which is typical for February. We have had rainfall most nights and the result of this can be seen by the dirty water flowing out the port creating a strong colour line. Inshore waters have had cold green water and one need’s to get out to the deeper water to find warm clean water and so some travelling is required to get some fish leaving one with a shorter time to produce. On a short morning trip as we got to the clean water we had a Dorado (Mahi) hit a Rapala Xtreme and after a jump the fish came off. We then landed a decent size Yellowfin Tuna, had an on/off with a Wahoo and then landed a smaller Dorado which gave a fight of a fish twice its size. I think we will start seeing Wahoo catches reported soon and usually when the Wahoo are around we find good numbers of Black Marlin too. Time to stretch those muscles, and prepare for a Marlin fight.
