Wahoo is one of the most commonly
caught fish here in Bermuda. Daily catches obviously vary but during the
spring and fall runs, daily catches of 20-30 fish are not uncommon!
Specimens have been
recorded at up to 2.5 meters (8 ft) in length, and weighing up to 83 kilograms
(180 lb). Growth can be rapid. One specimen tagged at 11 pounds grew to 33
pounds in one year. Wahoo can swim up to 75 kilometers (47 miles) per hour.
Wahoos tend to be solitary or occur in loose-knit
groups of two or three fish, rather than in schools. Their diet consists
essentially of other fish and squid.
The flesh of the Wahoo is delicate and white and
regarded as very good in quality. This has created some demand for the wahoo as
a premium commercial food fish. Wherever found, it is a prized sport fishing catch.
There has never been a better time for booking
Bermuda Fishing Charters. We are catching
some great fish these days. Wahoo,
Tuna, Dolphin
(Mahi Mahi) and even a few
Marlin already this year. If you are looking
for an unforgettable fishing trip in Bermuda, look no more!
