Wahoo
Wahoo fishing out of Bonita Springs means heading offshore into the Gulf of Mexico. These speedsters are often found near weed lines, floating debris, and color changes in the water, where they ambush prey. Trolling at high speeds with lures or rigged baits is a very effective method. Look for Wahoo during the warmer months, particularly from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are more to their liking. A key to success is using wire leaders, as Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth. The deeper waters beyond the nearshore reefs and wrecks are your best bet. Many anglers depart from the boat ramps around Bonita Beach or Wiggins Pass. Keep an eye on sea surface temperature charts, as Wahoo tend to congregate in areas with temperature breaks. Also, be prepared for long runs offshore, and always check the weather forecast before heading out.
