Wahoo
Chasing Wahoo off Boca Raton means heading offshore into the Gulf Stream, where these speedsters thrive. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time, as the Wahoo follow the migrating baitfish. Look for areas with significant current breaks or temperature changes, as these are natural ambush points. High-speed trolling with lures like dark-colored skirts or diving plugs is a popular technique. Be sure to use wire leaders, as Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth. Boca Raton offers several marinas with easy access to the Gulf Stream. A local tip: pay attention to the moon phase; many anglers believe that Wahoo fishing is best around the full or new moon. Also, keep an eye out for weed lines, as these can hold baitfish and attract Wahoo. The Wahoo in this area can be quite large, so be sure to bring appropriate tackle.
