Wahoo
For those seeking high-speed thrills, wahoo fishing off Melbourne Beach, Florida, can be an exhilarating experience. These pelagic speedsters are often found in the Gulf Stream, which runs relatively close to the coast here. Trolling is the most common and effective method, focusing on areas with temperature breaks and weed lines that attract baitfish. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally considered the peak season for wahoo. A practical tip for Melbourne Beach anglers is to monitor sea surface temperature charts to locate areas of upwelling or temperature changes, as these often hold wahoo. High-speed trolling with lures or rigged ballyhoo is the standard approach. The wahoo population off Melbourne Beach is known for producing some impressive specimens, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon. Be prepared for blistering runs and acrobatic leaps when you hook one of these magnificent fish. The Sebastian Inlet is a popular access point for offshore fishing in this area.
