Wahoo
Chasing wahoo in Key West offers a unique thrill, blending the excitement of offshore fishing with the stunning backdrop of the Florida Keys. The waters surrounding Key West are known for their strong currents and diverse marine life, creating ideal conditions for these lightning-fast predators. Wahoo fishing here is particularly productive during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when these fish are often found closer to shore. One key to success in Key West is understanding the current. Look for areas where currents converge or create upwellings, as these spots tend to concentrate baitfish and, consequently, wahoo. Trolling with high-speed lures or live bait along the edge of the reef is a popular and effective technique. The local wahoo population is known for its aggressive strikes and impressive size, so be sure to use heavy tackle and be ready for a serious fight. Access to prime fishing grounds is relatively easy from Key West's marinas, but booking a charter with a local captain is highly recommended for their expertise and knowledge of the area.
