Seasonal Activity Chart
Wahoo
Vero Beach offers access to prime wahoo fishing grounds, but success hinges on finding the right conditions offshore. These speedsters prefer warm, clear water, so target areas where the Gulf Stream pushes close to shore. Look for temperature breaks, weed lines, and underwater structure that attracts baitfish. Trolling is the most effective technique, using high-speed lures or rigged ballyhoo. Peak season is typically during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. A key local tip: check water temperature charts before heading out to pinpoint areas with favorable conditions. The wahoo in this area are known for their blistering runs, so make sure your reels are spooled with plenty of line. The Sebastian Inlet is a popular departure point, offering easy access to the offshore grounds. Remember to adjust your trolling speed and lure presentation based on the current and water clarity.
