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 Space Coast Area
With the Gulf Stream 30 to 40 miles out from Port Canaveral, this is a popular area for offshore angling among anglers and fishing charters. Wahoo are pretty consistent for offshore anglers here for most of the year and they do bite well in the colder, winter months.
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.
