- Dorados are extremely fun, fast-moving, hard-fighting, and good jumping gamefish. Plus they are super beginner-friendly if you are taking a vacation where some saltwater fly fishing is on the agenda. Far less technical than Permit, Tarpon, and various shallow water species - done right Dorado can be fairly easily caught. If you do it wrong they can get really wise in a hurry. Those first few shots are super important.
In this video my wife catches her first couple of Dorado after historically taking a polite pass on saltwater fishing. It's fun to watch her hook up and figure things out!

Right on, Joe! Excellent that you stress the requirement to shoot line through your non-reel hand to be ready for instant strip retrieve the instant the fly hits the water. Thank you for another great video!
You bet, thank you for watching!
Solid info. Joe ! Baja truly is magical 👍🏼
We love it. You can go as hard core or as casual as you want. Tough to do that with Permit haha. My wife and I did one Permit trip to Belize and it was tough to get her back on a salt boat after that.
Awesome video! Probably the best most comprehensive video you have done. I think I have ever seen, bar none. Gear, presentation, and how to fish the Dorado. Wonderful insight. Incredible camera lady as well. Well done. I want more. Best!
Wow, thanks! Really appreciate the support and good vibes.
Would love to see one of these for Pike/Musky
Me too! I've got to that this spring.
Loads of tips! Thank you
Thanks so much, really appreciate it.
Well done video very educational and interesting. Good job
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it.
Your wife is smart enough to not ask you to teach her to fish ;)
Yea I thought that was pretty funny. In camera “I probably should have looked up what to do” 😂
Great video, brings back lots of memories! Nothing compares to offshore saltwater fly fishing Did you mention to always keep the first fish in the water as there are always more Dorado! We caught 5 huge dorado off a stick floating in the gulf.
Great reminder yes, keeping that Dorado flashing around near the boat gets 'em fired up. Easy double that way. I have not yet landed a truly "big" Bull Dorado but I'm looking forward to it. I had a similar experience to your "stick" by catching numerous fish under a dead Pelican one time. Doesn't take much!
Thanks for the info! Would a 10wt payload work for roosters and dorado?
Yes it will, that rod will cast these big flies and sinking lines like a boss. My preference is for a true saltwater rod, they seem to be tougher around the boat. Roosterfish and Pelagic fish are going to be a helluva lot stronger than Pike or Musky that it might have been intended for. At the end of the day however, YES, that rod will work great 99.9% of the time.
Joe - pumped for my Baja trip next month. hoping to get into some Dorado and Roosters too. quick question, is that outbound short line full float, full sink, or something in between? what do you recommend for inshore fishing?
Good luck down there, it's the F/H/I - love that line. redsflyfishing.com/products/rio-elite-tropical-outbound-short
Perfect. Appreciate the info!
will you be doing a similar video for roosters?
Here ya go! czcams.com/video/LSF_GibU54M/video.html&pp=ygUPcm9vc3RlcmZpc2ggMTAx
Cool video and great info. Also talking down about your wife while she out fishes you seems a little petty
That's not a lady I'm talking down to, I think you might have misread our banter.
