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 Fort Pierce, Florida Area
With the gulf stream waters only 17 to 20 miles from Fort Pierce, anglers have a fairly short boat ride out to the deep waters that are home to wahoo and other pelagic species. It is not an easy fish to catch, however, the charter boats that target them here do report catches of wahoo year round.
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.
