Fishing for dolphinfish in Guadeloupe takes place from December to May for large fish and from June to October for smaller ones. It is very visual fishing and you will have a lot of sensations fighting this fish full of energy, colors, and very demonstrative.

Characteristics of Dorado

From green to dark green to phosphorescent blue spotted white, it is a magnificent fish. The male (called goat) is distinguished by a square head, while the females have a rounded head. It weighs from 2kg to 30kg and can measure 2m in length.

They live mainly near the surface in schools and feed on squid, trevally and tuna. Her jumps out of the water, which can go so far as to turn 360°, or the fact that she can use her body to tank herself and offer you greater resistance, will leave you with unforgettable fishing memories.

Fishing technique

Depending on the size of the subjects, it is fished either with fixed drum rods of 20lbs to 30lbs and 5000 or 6500 reels or with 50lbs rods with rotating drums.

It is fished by heavy trolling, slow trolling, lure, live or dead fish and poper. She is very combative and very often jumps out of the water making spectacular seals. When lure fishing, it's a surprise because very often when fishing for tuna or bonito, it's very voracious and it's possible that it will bite. And there it is, the jackpot! Mounted very finely, the sensations are increased tenfold and the fishing pleasure intense. With this technique, live fishing or dead fish drifting is the one I use the most because it is the most effective. What sensations to feel the touch in your fingers and see the braid unfold at full speed. You close the pick up and there the brutal rush and firm resistance for an exhilarating fight full of power.
