Local Species Insights: Wahoo
Wahoo are among the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of explosive runs that can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. Off Riviera Beach, these pelagic predators are typically found along current edges and temperature breaks where bait concentrates. Captain Rich targets these areas using specialized high-speed trolling techniques with colorful skirted lures, deep-diving plugs, and rigged baits.
The productive wahoo grounds near West Palm Beach are accessible year-round, though winter and spring months often produce the most consistent action. These fish are structure-oriented, frequently patrolling the edges of reefs, wrecks, and underwater ledges where the Gulf Stream current creates feeding opportunities. Wire leaders are essential when targeting wahoo due to their razor-sharp teeth and blistering runs that can exceed 60 mph.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the marina early, typically around 7:00 AM for morning trips. The vessel is well-equipped for offshore conditions with all necessary safety equipment, comfortable seating, and shade options for hot days. The charter provides all fishing gear, though you're welcome to bring your favorite setup if preferred.
Trips typically last 4-8 hours depending on the package you select, with longer trips offering better opportunities for multiple species. Remember to bring sun protection, non-marking shoes, and any preferred snacks or drinks. Motion sickness medication is recommended for those prone to seasickness, as offshore wahoo fishing often involves traveling to deeper waters where the Gulf Stream runs. Captain Rich will fillet your catch at the dock, so consider bringing a cooler with ice to transport your fresh fish home.
