Techniques for Wahoo

Techniques for Wahoo Increase your wahoo catches 100%!

I am lucky to live and fish professionally in Turks and Caicos islands where the wahoos are abundant and huge. Almost all the people that I talk too (and have fished with here in TCI)who fish within the continental U.S. always express an interest in catching more or some wahoo. The below paragraph explains a fishing technique that has worked 100% of the time (when followed) from Louisiana to Florida to New Jersey.

Here in Turks and Caicos 10,000 feet of water is less than two miles from the beach but for the most of you, you have a much longer run. You could be catching fish while speeding to the fishing grounds by setting two or more lures and trolling at speeds up to twenty knots. When you reach 100 feet of water or more stop and put out the spread described below. Set your cruising speed below 20 knots and get ready to catch some wahoo.

First, I have seen messages that discuss problems with setting enough drag on lighter tackle to stop line from feeding off the reel. We personally use Shimano Tiagra 80s and 50s but I understand that others wish to use lighter tackle. To be able to troll at these speeds with lighter tackle (30s and 50s) the solutions are easy.
