Has anyone ever fished for Mahi Mahi? I am taking a holiday to Dominican Republic in a few days and want to try for them from the beach? Any advice?
 
they are generally fished by trolling a fast bait
off a deep sea boat.
buddy of mine chartered a boat and fished them in hawaii
Biggest was about 40lbs and fought like hell !
 
You won't get one from the beach not unless you live there/have access to a deep spot real close to shore.
Lots of other stuff on offer though.
Using what we call a bar rig with squid for bait will catch you all sorts of stuff in the surf.
Casting spoons/spinners early in the AM-I mean real early-can be good too.
I've fish Caribbean a lot it's best to take a small boat and drag hootchies around-make sure you have lots of fresh line and sharp hooks.
