Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) is one of the most exciting fish to catch in Jaco, Costa Rica. Known for their acrobatic jumps and vibrant colors, dorado put up an incredible fight. The best time to target dorado is from May through September when warm Pacific currents bring massive schools within reach. Look for floating debris, birds, and color changes in the water. Trolling with squid skirts and ballyhoo near current lines produces consistent results. Our experienced captains know exactly where to find them.
