• High speed trolling remains one of the most productive techniques. The use of wire-line or high speed planers allows one to present the baits below the surface where the tiger-like wahoo lurk.
• Learning the tides per your fishing structure allows you to narrow down “the bite” within a couple of hours.
• Wahoo love to school up around structure. Good places to target Wahoo are around weed lines, ledges, shelves, wrecks, upwellings, rigs, and reef lines.
• Create a book and log all your findings per wahoo catch. Log the structure, location of catch, the time of tide and the moon phase. After a short time, you will have a wealth of data and an understanding on how to target the Wahoo.
