Dorado, on any islands, LOVE surface poppers and any kind of anchovey flies. Toss these into the currect around buoys and seaweed piles to make the fly appear as if it where swimming WITH the current. If you make the mistake of making the fly appear as if it were swimming against the current, your chances of getting a take are much smaller because rarely do baitfish swim in a way that makes them do more work. Tuna and mackeral will both rip into anchovy flies as well, but I would also reccomend any type of squid fly. If you toss it into a feeding school you can kiss that fly good bye because when the fish takes it, it takes it hard. You can see these upon landing the fish because your fly mangled beyond belief!

Poppers-poppers-poppers..... tuna & dorado will usually kill crease flies. Tie some bigger ones if possible but make sure you can throw them. Also have some moslty white deceivers in various sizes- these will imitate most of your baitfish and they second as good squid imitations as well....
