Seasonal Activity Chart
Wahoo
Chasing Wahoo near North Port means venturing into the Gulf of Mexico. While not as consistent as other Florida locations, Wahoo can be found offshore, particularly around structure and weed lines. Trolling is the most effective technique, and paying attention to seasonal forage is key. Look for areas with high concentrations of baitfish, especially during the spring and fall migrations. A local tip: The deeper water off North Port can hold some impressive Wahoo, so don't be afraid to fish in the 100-300 foot range. Also, be aware that the Gulf can get rough quickly, so always check the marine forecast before heading out. The Wahoo population here is influenced by the Gulf currents, so their presence can be somewhat unpredictable, making local knowledge invaluable.
