Fishing Report: The winds have many anglers tied to the dock this week while Wahoo from 20 - 30 lbs. are prowling along the 180' line.  The Wahoo follow behind  the vast herds of dolphin and bonito traveling North to escape the heat of summer. Wahoo will began showing in July and will increase in number until November.  The best part of it is that the wahoo love to hang just off the reef line in 100' - 400' depths and don't require going off shore to score big.  Smaller kingfish are haunting the 120' drops.  To catch these sharp toothed slashers you have to be prepared.  Wahoo & Kings love to run up and slash the bait in half  then pick up the pieces. That is why most wahoo hunters use little drop back and troll faster than they do for dolphin. The idea is to hook them when they slash.  On wahoo a quick trot speed works for me.   Don't worry.  There's no too-fast for wahoo. Leader material is not important as long as it is wire or cable.  Wahoo are not shy. New line is an must.  Kings like a "walking speed" approach.  Thirty to fifty pound line is a lot of fun although some boats use #80 when in Bahamian money tournaments. Wahoo & Kings favor a bait running under the surface of the water so planers, wire lines and down-rigging  do produce more fish.  Likewise, weighted feathers and cigar weights help get down. The very best bet of the season is the stack of wahoo that gather at 300' on the Bimini Wall in November.  When you've eaten Bahamian Cracked Conch & Wahoo for Thanksgivin' dinner... you a Biminite  Mon'!
