Wahoo
Fort Walton Beach offers access to some excellent Wahoo fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The key is to get offshore to where the Gulf Stream influences the water temperature and brings in baitfish. Look for areas with significant depth changes, weed lines, and floating debris, as these often hold concentrations of Wahoo. Trolling is the most common and effective method. Fall is a particularly productive time, as migratory patterns bring Wahoo through the area. High-speed trolling with lures or rigged baits is a popular tactic. Be prepared to cover a lot of water to find the fish. The Destin Jetties provide good access to the Gulf, but be mindful of boat traffic. Wahoo in this region are known for their speed and power, so use heavy tackle and be ready for a thrilling fight. Some real trophy-sized fish are caught here each year, so it's well worth the effort.
