Seasonal Activity Chart
Wahoo
Chasing wahoo off New Smyrna Beach requires understanding the dynamics of the Gulf Stream and its influence on local waters. These speedsters tend to follow the bait, so keep an eye out for concentrations of smaller fish. Peak season is generally late spring through early fall when warmer waters push closer to shore. Focus your efforts around offshore reefs and ledges where wahoo ambush prey. Live bait trolling with ballyhoo or artificial lures that mimic mackerel are effective. A key local tip: pay attention to water clarity. Wahoo prefer cleaner, bluer water. The Ponce de Leon Inlet provides access to the Atlantic, but be mindful of strong currents and boat traffic, especially on weekends. Don't be afraid to experiment with trolling speeds to find what triggers strikes, as these fish can be finicky.
