Wahoo
For anglers seeking a thrilling offshore challenge, Madeira Beach offers access to Wahoo, known for their blistering speed and powerful strikes. The best time to target Wahoo here is during the warmer months, particularly summer and early fall, when they follow the Gulf Stream closer to shore. High-speed trolling with lures like skirted ballyhoo or diving plugs is a popular and effective technique. Focus your efforts around offshore structures, weed lines, and color changes in the water. The Egmont Channel and areas near artificial reefs are known Wahoo hotspots. A crucial tip is to use heavy tackle and wire leaders to withstand their sharp teeth and aggressive runs. Be sure to check the latest fishing reports for current conditions and Wahoo activity before heading out.
