Do any of you guys ever target offshore species (such as mahi, tuna or even billfish) in the gulf? If so, what sort of techniques and set ups do you use? Thanks

Caught a few mahi along a weed line a few summers ago with an 8 wt. I needed a heavier rod though. Didn't know I was going offshore so I didn't have a sinking line, heavier rod or bigger flies with me. I caught the fish on size 2 Clousers. Without a sinking line, I couldn't get the fly down to the bigger mahi.

I have caught a few dozen small chicken dolphin (Mahi) with my bass rod. 5 weight. Used a chartreuse clouser. Brought it once for fun on an amberjack trip. We spent half the afternoon taking turns. Easily could have caught them until there was none left. My only story of offshore fly fishing. It was one of those days where nothing went right and some unexpected saved the day. I think we finished with two tunas two ajs and 10 nice mahi
