Seasons: Wahoo can be a pleasant surprise anytime of the year. Not many fisherman target Wahoo, they are usually caught while fishing for something else. There are a few offshore rocks south of Jaco that consistently hold Wahoo (20 to 60 pounds) all year long.
Method: Generally caught trolling near offshore rocks and structure 10-30 miles out. Wahoo will strike lures, spoons and ballyhoo rigs. If you are going to target Wahoo use wire leaders, fish with planers and downriggers and troll twice as fast as you normally would.
My best day: I have never caught a Wahoo. I have hooked a couple while fishing for Sailfish. One Wahoo bit through my 100 pound leader after a blistering run and I had one backlash my reel and snap my flat line. My only revenge is that I have served hundreds of Wahoo grilled and fried at my taco stand with a side of rice, beans and grilled sweet corn and they are delicious.
