Dorado fall somewhere in-between, so the mercury levels are still relatively low. The CDC recommends that you eat 6 servings a month of mahi-mahi. You can check out a table that has more details about fish and mercury here. Here are some symptoms to look for if you are worried about mercury poisoning.
And the following are benefits to be gained from eating fish such as Dorado. You can use any type of medium-weight setup. Make sure you have a strong reel for casting, such as a Shimano Trinidad 16N. Dorado are usually hooked when fishermen are out using heavier tackle for heavier fish like Marlin.
Dorado is an open water species that are sometimes drawn to floating debris like logs. Make sure you look in your area for any floating object that could bring in Dorado. Any chum you have on hand would work great here, toss it near these objects and watch their activity increase.
Any tropical location will be a good fishing place. You will find all sorts of pelagic fish such as Marlin, Wahoo, and Dorado.
Some world-record fish have been caught near Cabo San Lucas. Keep in mind that you can target debris from excessive rain because the Dorado will concentrate near it.
Many Dorado are caught by using trolling lures such as rubber skirts, which are usually meant for Sailfish or Marlin. They also respond well to trolled plugs such as Rapalas. These are greedy fish, and you will be surprised by the size of lures these fish respond to. Specifically, bycatch of seabirds, fish, sharks, and turtles are a major challenge within the fishery as many of these species are considered endangered, threatened, or protected ETP species.
Dorado is mainly caught using pelagic longlines. Pelagic longlines consist of a double-line system suspended at different depths covered in baited hooks and which are several kilometers long. Catches of endangered, threatened or vulnerable seabirds, fish, sharks and turtles are considered to be a significant issue.
Bycatch for this fishery appears to be low as well as catches of juvenile dorado. Discard rate and survival of discards is unknown.
The fishery is likely to impact the ecosystem negatively due to the removal of key species. There is no impact on benthic habitats. Dorado is caught all along the coast of South Africa Management for the sector is considered partly effective. There is concern over the impact of the continuously growing recreational sector as well as uncertainties surrounding the allocation of small-scale fishing rights.
Some steps have been taken to implement an ecosystem approach to fisheries EAF management including the recent addition of 21 new Marine Protected Areas which are likely to provide additional protection to several linefish species.
Member countries or co-operating non-member countries are then responsible for ensuring the implementation and adaptation of the recommended quotas and regulations. Management by South Africa is considered largely effective as several steps have been taken to address the concerns around bycatch. Dorado is a cosmopolitan fish found throughout the Eastern Pacific Ocean and imported into South Africa.
Data collected is not always accurate and IUU fishing still takes place due to poor levels of enforcement. However, management overall, is considered to be marginally effective. Bull dorado are also very distinguishable by their blunt, vertical forehead while females are more rounded. Offshore they feed on squid, flying fish, small bonito, mackerel, crabs and many other species of smaller or juvenile fish.
They are opportunistic feeders and will feed in large schools when bait is present. In Central America, dorado are often caught when trolling ballyhoo for sailfish and marlin. Dorado are much easier to hook on circle hooks than billfish as they typically come into your spread in a frenzy ready to eat while many times billfish will whack your bait with their bills before eating.
Dorado are also commonly found raiding the baitfish found under floating tree trunks or other garbage. When this situation presents itself you can sight cast to the lit up dorado using poppers and stick baits. Some of our favorites are Yo-Zuri mag darters and bull poppers. The all tackle world record is an 87 lb monster caught right here in Costa Rica back in Costa Rica and Panama both boast several line class records as well as tippet class records for dorado that were caught on the fly.
