Wahoo are an offshore fish that are known for their tremendous speed and excellent strength. Known as ono in Hawaii, wahoo are an excellent fish for eating, which helps make them such a popular game fish among saltwater anglers.
Wahoo Fishing in the Daytona Beach Area
Wahoo are pretty consistent for offshore anglers here for most of the year and they bite well in the colder, winter months. You still have to go out for a long boat ride and put in some time, but many boaters and charters report good fishing for wahoo out around the Gulf Stream. The stream is about 40 – 50 miles out from Ponce Inlet, so it is a bit of a boat ride, but plenty of charters make these trips to fish for a variety of fish and wahoo are included.
Wahoo Fishing Tips
They are often caught in very deep water. Many offshore fishing charters will troll for other fish, but they are known to set up one rod very deep for an occasional wahoo. While some fishing charters may go out and target these fish, most of the time, wahoo are considered a bonus fish. Either way, they are a lot of fun to catch and they provide some excellent table fare.
