Wahoo
Jacksonville, Florida, offers some excellent opportunities for Wahoo, but it's a game of timing and location. These speedsters are most often found in the Gulf Stream, so you'll need to head offshore. Fall and early winter, particularly October and November, are often considered prime time, as baitfish migrations bring the wahoo closer to the coast. Trolling is the name of the game, and high-speed trolling with lures like dark-colored Islanders or deep-diving plugs can be very effective. A practical tip: keep an eye on water temperature breaks, as wahoo often congregate along these edges. The currents around wrecks and ledges can also hold fish. Be prepared for long runs and potentially rough seas, and always check the marine forecast before heading out. Also, given the Wahoo's speed, make sure your reels are spooled with plenty of line!
