Looking forward to the Saipan Mahi Mahi Fishing Derby this April 2, 2016. Tight lines.

Are you competing? Hope to see some pics of THE trophy fish...

Oh, and welcome to the Forum

Yes, I'll be participating. So tips on catching the biggest bull is greatly appreciated. Will be fishing with a crew of three on an 18' boat, pulling four lines. Thank You.

I cannot give you any tips...I have never caught a mahi mahi.

What I can tell you, is they grow fast...a 2 year old is big and I mean big! Because they grow so fast they eat a lot and eat it fast...They are pelagic at the sharp end of the stick. (pelagic means hunters or surface hunters). They strike hard and fast. They are one of the fastest and most aggressive pelagic fish in the ocean.

They like it fast and loud...A very fast retrieved popper should do the trick. That would be my first choice.

How was the derby?

Did you do any good?

Tha mahi mahi derby went well. Here are some pictures.

The Prize Winners....Congratulations

And then the after event event

Looks like you all had a great time.

Excellent photos, thanks for sharing.
