Wahoo Fishing in the Pensacola, Florida Area
In the Florida Panhandle between Destin and Pensacola, anglers have access to very deep water. Within 25 to 35 miles from shore, anglers can be fishing from 100 to 600 feet of water or even deeper in some spots. While the 100 Fanthom line may be closest to Destin in this region, you can get out to some very deep water in 25 to 35 miles from Pensacola. There are plenty of offshore reefs and wrecks on the way out to the 100 Fanthom line that will hold wahoo and once you get out to the real deep water, there are some really good fishing opportunities for wahoo. Many of the fishing charters in this area will target wahoo on offshore trips.
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.
