This cache is located close one of my favorite bars in Key West. A
quick fun cache, recomended for those who are beginners or just
want an easy cache. The cache is located in a small Walgreens pill
container, and it contains a pencil, and a log. It should be easy
to find, but the coordinates may be slightly off. Do not hesitate
to message me if you find an issue with this cache.
This cache is dedicated to my favorite sport fish, the mahi-mahi,
or dolphin fish. Mahi-mahi are highly sought for sport fishing and
commercial purposes. Sport fishermen seek mahi-mahi due to their
beauty, size, food quality, and healthy population. Mahi-mahi are
popular in many restaurants. Mahi-mahi can be found in the
Caribbean Sea, on the west coast of North and South America, the
Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic coast
of Florida, Southeast Asia, Hawaii and many other places worldwide.
Fishing charters most often look for floating debris and
frigatebirds near the edge of the reef in about 120 feet (37 m) of
water. Mahi-mahi often swim near debris such as floating wood, palm
trees and fronds, or sargasso weed lines and around fish buoys.
Sargasso is floating seaweed that sometimes holds a complete
ecosystem from microscopic creatures to seahorses and baitfish.
Frigatebirds dive for food accompanying the debris or sargasso.
Experienced fishing guides can tell what species are likely around
the debris by the birds' behavior. Thirty- to fifty-pound gear is
more than adequate when trolling for mahi-mahi. Fly-casters may
especially seek frigatebirds to find big mahi-mahis, and then use a
bait-and-switch technique. Ballyhoo or a net full of live sardines
tossed into the water can excite the mahi-mahis into a feeding
frenzy. Hookless teaser lures can have the same effect. After
tossing the teasers or live chum, fishermen throw the fly to the
feeding mahi-mahi. Once on a line, mahi-mahi are fast, flashy and
acrobatic, with beautiful blue, yellow, green and even red dots of
color. A beautiful fish that is delicious and fun to catch, the
Mahi-mahi definately deserves its own cache.
