The WAHOO!! "The speedster of the Sea", has the reputation of being a loner and is rarely found in schools. Its range is worldwide in tropical, warm temperate waters where it prefers temperatures of 70-86° F. Capable of speeds approaching 50 MPH, the wahoo, once hooked can thrill any angler with runs of blistering speeds and high leaps with an almost splashless re-entry. Ernest Hemingway preferred the wahoo to all marine game fishes for its flavor , but like all sportfish, the wahoo is best released.
Tackle Tip
Wahoo can be caught top water trolling with spoons, artificial lures, or rigged balao and mullet. Deep fishing with live bait can also be productive. Recommended bait is a rigged balao with a small skirted artificial, trolled from 6.5-8.5 MPH. One of the best live baits is pinfish.
