Easy Mahi Mahi Trolling spread for small boats | Treasure Coast Winter Mahi Run

#CProFishing
#TrollingforMahiMahi
#TreasureCoastFishing
In this video I show how I set up an easy five rod trolling spread for Mahi Mahi. I have a small 19' boat with no outriggers. Using outrodders and spacing my rods correctly I'm able to effectively troll five rods. A shotgun way back, two out wide on the outrodders, a deep diving plug, and a flat line placed right behind my umbrella rig with holographic teasers. This day was very cold for Southeast Florida on the Treasure Coast. The winter Mahi run was good for the previous several days. We left out of St Lucie Inlet knowing we only had several hours before a front hit. The first bait out was crushed right away and constant action followed for several hours.
In this video we fished ILander lures over Ballyhoo, Honu lures Jet head and bullet head style, Sea witch over Ballyhoo, and Rapala deep diver plugs. We caught Kingfish, Bonito, and finally found the Dolphin fish Mahi Mahi.
Gear used was Shimano TLD 25's on Ocean master trolling rods. Shimano TLD 50 2 speed on a customer rod at the shotgun, and Shimano Speedmaster on a Star Paraflex rod.

Looks like you got into em, you know it's going to be a good day when you get hit on the first line out.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks brother most definitely

[@ThatShinerGuy]

You sure had your hands full when you found that school of mahi!

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

It gets crazy sometimes

[@TheNicko773]

Nice fire drill there!! I also have a smaller boat, and anytime you can get out in the winter months is a bonus!! Thanks for sharing.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

After it seemed like it blew all Spring it’s nice to have some calm Winter days.

[@SFROutdoors]

You're the lean mean video making machine! Small boats like us gotta represent outta Stuart!!

@@CProFishingWithWayne I'm more of a volume type of Fisherman, so this was a very exciting video to watch, I know it was mostly Bonito, but that was Catching, not fishing, CPRO style!

[@tubbyguyoutdoors]

Man that got crazy quick when you got on them !!! I’ve only ever trolled fresh water and we are just crawling I mean like if you fart you ain’t getting away from it slow . How fast are you trolling it could just be the camera angle but it looks like you are moving right along . Another awesome trip Wayne thanks for taking us along

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Damn Tubby that fart comment has me cracking up 🤣. I average about 7 mph when trolling

[@tubbyguyoutdoors]

Those Dolphin "Mahi Mahi" are Beautiful!! Even more beautiful to the taste I'm sure! 😜 That's amazing that the rapala deep diver goes down 40 ft! 🤯 Got the cooler looking good there buddy! 👊💪

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

They’re an amazing fish!! Those Rapalas are my favorite. To go that’s deep without a trolling weight is awesome

[@StanleyOrchard]

Man you guys were working for 'em. It was looking rough, good to see you walking with a good haul though!

I was definitely worn out after this trip. Thanks Stanley

[@flogrowncowboy5777]

I'm so glad I found your channel. Your videos are very action-packed, and descriptive. Towards the end of your video it looks like the darcizzle offshore boat? I actually stopped their Channel to start viewing more channels like yours.🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thank you I greatly appreciate the compliment. Yes, that was them at the end of the video. They had a bad day from engine issues so I didn’t put the conversation in the video.

[@WhatMyLensSees]

Nice way to start off the day. 3 minutes in!! Beautiful fish ... and I know I always say this, but you always make it look so easy man. And love how the video transitions into a slayfest at about the 8:30 mark. You guys crushed it! And that Mahi at the 11;00 mark just awesome man. Love that slow-mo jump. Glad you got in safely. That water was looking rough at the end. Awesome video as always.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks brother for the awesome comment. When I keep watching a part of the video I’m making over and over I know it’s gonna be good 😂. Love that transition with the music.

[@WhatMyLensSees]

@@CProFishingWithWayne yep that is always a good sign 👍

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Well, 3 Mahi and a bunch of others too. Looked like the only ones you kept were the big king and the 3 mahi though.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

The Bonito are great fighters but not table fare. I kept a dozen for Snapper bait.

[@offshoreandoutdoors]

Looks like you had a fun trip! I think i need some of that bait thats out there, lol!

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Belly strips for days!!

[@ErnieHatmaker]

It's so odd that I went looking to see if you had a new video out and this one was days old. I didn't even get the notification.🤨

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

No worries Ernie. Not sure what’s up with notifications lately.

[@mrhotdog1968]

Awesome videos! I appreciate that you take time to explain things. Were you trolling with the current or against? How close were you to the gulf stream?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thank you. I go all directions. You have to adjust speed depending on the conditions but the trick is just making sure your baits are swimming correctly. We were trolling between 6-9 miles out and the Gulfstream was reported at 12 miles out that day.

[@lgs6476]

TWSS! 😄

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

I was waiting for that comment 🤣

[@rudy2684]

Great video keep it up! Can you tell me how far back should you keep the umbrella rig?

Thanks Rudy. I put mine right behind the wake where it becomes clearer. About 40-50 feet on my boat. Different for each boat.
