Seasonal Activity Chart
Wahoo
Targeting wahoo off Homosassa, Florida, demands attention to the Gulf's dynamic conditions. This area is unique due to its proximity to offshore structures and the relatively shallow continental shelf, which concentrates baitfish. Wahoo are most active during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when bait schools are abundant. Look for temperature breaks and weed lines, as these often hold wahoo. A key local tip is to pay close attention to the tides. Incoming tides often bring in clearer, cooler water that triggers feeding activity. For boat access, the Homosassa public ramp is convenient, but it can get crowded, especially on weekends. When trolling, vary your lure presentations and depths, as wahoo can be finicky. Also, be prepared for some serious runs—these fish are known for their speed and power.
