Wahoo
Port St. Joe, Florida, is a fantastic jumping-off point for those seeking the thrill of Wahoo fishing. The Gulf of Mexico off the Florida Panhandle provides deep, blue waters that these speedy predators love. Focus your efforts along the edge of the continental shelf, where the depth drops dramatically. Wahoo are most active during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, following the migration of baitfish. For success here, speed is key. High-speed trolling with lures or rigged baits is a common tactic. Look for areas with current rips or weed lines, as these often hold bait. The Port St. Joe Marina is a convenient place to launch, and you can often find local charters that know the productive areas. Keep an eye on water clarity; Wahoo prefer clear, blue water. Also, be prepared for a fight – these fish are known for their blistering runs.
