Wahoo
If you're targeting wahoo out of Stuart, Florida, you're in prime hunting grounds. The Gulf Stream's proximity to the coast makes this area a wahoo magnet. Focus your efforts around offshore ledges, wrecks, and color changes where these speedsters like to ambush prey. Peak season is generally spring and fall as migrating baitfish draw them in. Keep a close eye on water temperature breaks – wahoo often patrol these areas. For a local tip, try trolling high-speed lures or rigged ballyhoo near the surface. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and presentations to see what the wahoo are keying on. Many anglers find success fishing the reefs and drop-offs in the 80-200 foot range. Remember to check the latest regulations for any seasonal closures or size restrictions. The wahoo here are known for their blistering runs, so be prepared for a battle!
