Start of the New Year With Some Fishing!

Wahoo are another gamefish that is biting extremely well. One of the fastest fish in the ocean and my personal favorite fish to eat, wahoo are an exciting gamefish that bites voraciously in the winter months. This year, with the super moons we’re having, wahoo are biting like crazy. We had some awesome days of wahoo fishing over the past few weeks and they are still biting strong. I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen such good wahoo fishing in south Florida. You usually have to go to Bimini in the Bahamas or even San Salvador to catch wahoos like we have this month. Some of the wahoos reached 60+ pounds. Wahoo are crafty fish as they shy away from wire leaders and their razor sharp teeth can cut through monofilament like a knife through butter. We have to be equally crafty when catching them by not applying too much drag on the initial hookup, keeping control of their head during the fight and not letting them shake the hooks when close to the boat. With good coordination from the captain and mate, we can successfully land most of the wahoo we hook.
