What is wahoo fishing in Islamorada all about?

Wahoo, known for their speed and powerful runs, are a highly sought-after species among anglers in Isla Morada. These pelagic predators are abundant in the waters surrounding the Florida Keys, including Isla Morada, particularly during the cooler months from late fall to early spring. Wahoo are known to inhabit offshore areas near reefs, drop-offs, and underwater structures, making them a prime target for anglers venturing out into deeper waters. Their distinctive streamlined bodies and razor-sharp teeth make them formidable opponents, providing anglers with an exhilarating challenge.

Anglers in Isla Morada employ a variety of techniques to target wahoo, depending on factors such as water depth, current conditions, and time of day. Trolling is a popular method used to cover large areas of water and locate wahoo, with anglers trailing high-speed lures behind the boat at varying depths. Wahoo are known to be attracted to fast-moving prey, so high-speed trolling with lures such as jet heads, skirted baits, and diving plugs is often effective in enticing strikes. Additionally, live baiting with large, fast-swimming fish such as bonito or mackerel can also attract wahoo, particularly when fishing near offshore structures or steep drop-offs.

Aside from wahoo, Isla Morada offers anglers the opportunity to target a wide range of other species, including mahi-mahi, tuna, sailfish, and marlin. These pelagic species are abundant in the offshore waters surrounding Isla Morada, particularly during the warmer months when baitfish are plentiful. Anglers often use similar techniques such as trolling, live baiting, and kite fishing to target these species, providing plenty of excitement and opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. Whether trolling the offshore waters for wahoo or targeting trophy-sized pelagic species, Isla Morada offers anglers an unforgettable fishing experience with the chance to reel in some impressive catches.

Despite the unfortunate windy weather, Captain Joel and first mate Todd made for a great day. They worked hard to get us on fish, and we had. Great day! We ended up catching 10 different species (mostly snapper) had plenty to eat I would highly recommend this charter to anyone!

★★★★★
This was honestly one of the most disappointing charters I’ve had. I’ve booked numerous charters all over and in the keys. I realize fishing is fishing but we were greeted by a captain other than Dan, great guy but not what I expected honestly. Our vessel wasn’t prepared and ready to go so we waited longer than was expected and it pushed other plans back even further. We caught one 12.5 inch yellow that was big enough to keep. On other charters the boat is quite well prepared and ready to change course quickly to get you on the fish, not the case, granted it was a shorter booking I’ve still had much better equipped captains and vessels. So to spend the day bobbing for non existent apples was not at all ideal. It was so boring my wife and son chose to nap. So just be aware that if you choose this charter it may not go at all to plan. Sadly it was a waste of precious vacation time. I typically hate reading negative reviews and have never personally left one, but this seemed appropriate given the outcome. Good luck.

Great time with Captain Don. He put us on the fish and it didn’t stop. Got back to the dock and other fisherman were admiring the size of our yellowtail. Definitely going back for a full day.

Captain Joel did a fantastic job under adverse conditions! Put us on fish, and we caught our bucket list barracuda! Todd is by far one of the best mates I have fished with in 40 years! Good bedside manner. Thanks a million! Paul T

Sharing my birthday with my dad meant I developed a love of fishing from him at an early age. We celebrated my 59th and his 82nd birthday with 2 back-to-back fishing days with Captain Jack on the Jesse James. He was a careful listener to our requests and expertly guided us to fun fishing, filled with pro tips and great hospitality. Captain Jack truly wants you to have the best time possible and goes all the extra miles. So grateful we were able to fish with him and can't wait to do it again in the future!

On behalf of Warren Herndon, Wayne Hall and myself (Dexter Hudson), I would like to report that we had an outstanding time on our fishing excursion with Captain Don. Captain Don was very enjoyable to talk and visit with and he also patiently answered all of our questions, explaining what he was doing. And he worked like a Trojan baiting and putting new hooks and leaders on our poles after sharks robbed us of our catch when we reeled in too slowly. We did manage to reel in 22 good-sized Yellow Tail snapper and were able to return home as conquering heroes with meat for the table. Don not only cleaned the fish but provided several tasty recipes. The gentlemen did the cooking, the wives joined us in devouring the meal and we all had big smiles on our faces.. Thanks Captain Don! If or when we get back, you'll be the man we call!
