Mahi Mahi fishing in Sebastian FL using deep sea and trolling techniques

The sun rose over the horizon casting a golden glow on the waves. Our boat rocked gently as we prepared our lines. The air was salty and fresh. Suddenly a flash of blue and green caught our eye. A magnificent mahi-mahi leaped from the water. Its scales shimmered in the morning light. The fight was on. We reeled with all our might. The fish danced across the surface. Finally we brought it aboard. A beautiful 20-inch specimen. Grins spread across our faces. Another successful day on the water.
