Best Time to Catch Wahoo
Wahoo can be caught year-round in Merritt Island. Right now in February, activity is low.
Seasonal Activity Chart
Wahoo
Chasing wahoo off Merritt Island means understanding the Atlantic currents and the bait they bring. This area offers relatively quick access to deep water, making it a prime location when conditions are right. Peak season generally aligns with the migration of baitfish in the spring and fall. Look for temperature breaks and weed lines, as wahoo often patrol these areas seeking prey. A key tactic is trolling live bait or high-speed lures along the edge of the Gulf Stream. Be mindful of sargassum weed, which can be thick at times, requiring frequent lure cleaning. The fish here can be finicky, so vary your presentation and depth until you find what they want. The Port Canaveral area provides several excellent boat ramps for accessing these offshore waters.
