About this episode

This episode discusses using flying fish as bait for catching dolphin and mutton snapper.

What is a great bait to use for mutton snapper and picky dolphin aka mahi mahi? Flying Fish. Not only are they fun to watch, always bringing a smile to my charter clients and myself, but also great bait to use. IF, you can catch them or find them to purchase. I share from an incredible article written by Sid Dobrin "The Fishing Professor" that was featured in an old issue of Florida Sportsman Magazine June 2023. And if you haven't listened to last weeks podcast about why I created this new format, go back and listen. Thank you to Sid and Florida Sportsman for such a great article!
