Wahoo Bite
Wahoo Bite
Feb 23, 2021 Miami
Wahoo bite leading up to the full moon has been hot. Many boats are getting multiple shots at the elusive wahoo. My half day am charter on Tuesday 5 days before the moon produced a nice wahoo bite on the shotgun bait. What a run the fish gave us. Battled Wahoo for about 5 mins but its next run was straight up the mono and what we got a "quick release", oh well. Bite for wahoo tend to heat up days leading to full moon though a week after the moon. The new moon also stirs up the wahoo too but not as much as the week leading to the moon. Clients from Michigan did land this great barracuda that gave a great first run and pulled hard the rest of the way. Also pulled the hook (it happens) on a nice bull Mahi.
