Wahoo





What Charter Fishes For Them:

  • Deep Sea Fishing

Physical Description:

Long, slender body marked with zebra-like stripes of white and deep blue or
black. Mouth is elongated and narrow, and equipped with razor-sharp teeth.

Range:

Wahoo are present in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans in clear, tropical
and subtropical waters. Heavy seasonal concentrations occur off the Pacific
coasts of Panama, Costa Rica and Baja California in the summer. Offshore of
all Florida coasts, like Daytona, Miami, and especially the Keys, but much more
plentiful in the Bahamas and many Caribbean Islands.

Feeding Habits:

While the wahoo is perfectly capable of biting chunks out of large fish, it primarily
feeds on whole small fishes, such as sardines, scads, mackerel and squid.
They are frequently solitary feeders, but they may sometimes be found in small,
loose groups. Wahoo are sub-surface hunters that hang several feet below the
surface and shoot up to attack prey with tremendous speed. Although they feed
at all times, they tend to be more active in the morning and evening hours.

Sporting Qualities:

May strike a surface bait in spectacular, greyhounding fashion, but seldom
jumps after being hooked. Wild fight is characterized by several sizzling runs,
usually at or near the surface. One of the fastest of all gamefish.
