What kind of lure should I use when trolling for Dorado? (AKA Dolphinfish or Pandawan)?
This is my first time to try trolling for game fish. Since I've never tried it before, can anyone give me tips on what kind of lure to use, and how far behind to tow it? How about trolling speed?
The area is also good for Black Marlin, or so I've been told.
I would recommend rigged ballyhoo with blue or green skirts. Lures work too though. Mahi Mahi (Dorado) will eat pretty much anything, they are not picky. But they do eat their young so green/yellow lures and blue/white lures will work best. About 5knotts is a good speed but a few knotts wont make a difference. Also I've had them hit lines about 20 yards off the boat and about 200 yards off the boat, so I like to put 2 out long (100 yards or so) and 2 short ( about 50 yards). Cedar plus, Dolphin delight lures, anything will work. But I'd stick to green/yellow and blue/white lures.
As for black marlin, they will hit just about anything too, but they tend to hit larger lures, troll some big dark colored lures way back at about 6 or 7 knots.
If you want to target both species at once then troll a dark big heavy lure about 100 yards behind the boat and another lure thats smaller green/ yellow about 100 yards as well, then get 2 blue/white lures and troll them short at about 50 yards. troll 6knotts.
Once you get a fish if its a marlin, switch everything to dark big lures and troll about 7knotts with your lines way back. If its a dolphin switch everythign to green/yellow and blue/white and troll about 5knotts, with the lines varrying in distance.
