Well, it depends on whether you are talking east coast or west coast of the US. The mahi mahi you are referring to does not exist on the east coast. It looks the same but it is technically dauphin (pronounced dolphin) in the Caribbean. Blue or white marlin? would be my other question. On the east coast and in the Carribbean we use, ideally, live pilchers; a long, narrow fish usually caught live each morning by netting. They are about ten inches to a foot long, shiny silver and both of those species love them. Dauphin love to hang around the weed lines that float in the Gulf Stream and their favorite delicacy is the small seahorses that use the weed line to hide in. When we fillet the dauphin back at the dock we often show the children of tourists at the docks the seahorses we take from the stomach of the dauphin. That's why your captain looks for weed line.

depends on what kind of fish
The Marlins name originates from the fish species.
Marlins are not typically considered dangerous to humans. While they are large and powerful fish, they do not pose a significant threat to humans unless provoked or in rare circumstances. In general, marlins are more likely to be a prized catch for sport fishing enthusiasts.
The best way to fish with live Minnows is to leave them as they are, alive. Living fish that move are much more likely to attract larger fish than a dead fish on a hook. Try hooking the minnow through the lip - that way they can move somewhat naturally, and if you're unable to catch fish with them - you're able to release them relatively unharmed afterward.
No, marlins are carnivorous fish that primarily feed on smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are swift predators known for their speed and agility in hunting their prey.

You can catch fish all year round, it depends what kind of fish you are hoping to catch. My favourite time is summer because that is when all the sharks come and a lot of the rare fish.
Worms..They will catch a variety of species.
Sharks & Marlins
Marlins are a large breed of fish. There are a variety of these fish that exist. Each fish tends to communicate by changing the color of their skin and through body motions when they are looking to mate.
Route 119 is the best place, but he is a hard fish to catch... if you try, fish around the rocks in the river, once you catch one, breed it or catch more in the same spot you caught the first one...
It is pretty simple; they catch fish.
