Wahoo
Wahoo fishing off Anna Maria Island, Florida, is a deep-water pursuit that rewards anglers who pay attention to the Gulf Stream's influence. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally best as wahoo follow the temperature breaks and bait migrations. Focus your efforts along the continental shelf, targeting areas with significant depth changes and current rips. These are prime ambush points for these lightning-fast predators. Effective techniques include high-speed trolling with lures and skirted baits. Natural presentations like rigged ballyhoo are also productive. Water temperature is a critical factor; wahoo prefer warmer waters, so keep an eye on temperature charts. A local tip: the 'Humps' offshore from Anna Maria are known wahoo haunts, but be prepared for a long boat ride. Also, invest in quality wire leaders – wahoo have razor-sharp teeth!
