Hey folks, Captain Scott here with Raider Spirit Sport Fishing checking in from Sneads Ferry with the latest offshore update. The wahoo bite is starting to fire up, and things are looking great out on the Gulf Stream. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been seeing steady action with wahoo ranging anywhere from 25 to 60 pounds, and on the right day, it’s been downright hot. Most of our trips are producing a few solid fish, and when they hit, they hit hard. That first run never gets old and hearing that drag scream and watching the rod bury as a wahoo tears down-sea still gets my blood pumping every time. The Gulf Stream water has been beautiful lately, clean, blue, and full of life. We’ve been finding the best action around temperature breaks and structure edges in the 40-fathom range, roughly 35 to 40 miles offshore. When the wind lays down and we can make the run, the fishing has been fantastic. The weather windows have been short, but the reward has been worth it every time we get out there. We’ve been HS trolling with Islanders and jet heads, running a mix of dark and bright colors. Black and purple, blue and white, and pink and black have been our top producers. A few fish have also come off the planer rod, so we’ve been keeping that line in the spread for those deeper bites. If you’re heading out, make sure your wire leaders are solid and your drags are smooth — these fish don’t play around. Wahoo are pure muscle and teeth, and they’ll test every bit of your tackle. Looking ahead, October is shaping up perfectly for the fall wahoo run. The bait is here, the water’s right, and the conditions are lining up for some of the best offshore action of the year. I expect the bite to stay strong through early November before the next round of cold fronts moves in. Now’s the time to get offshore if you’ve been waiting for your shot at a trophy wahoo — they’re here and feeding. If you’re ready to experience that wahoo power for yourself, come fish with us on the Raider Spirit. We’ve got open dates available this month, and we’ll be running full-day offshore trips targeting wahoo, blackfin tuna, and mahi. Tight Lines!
