2020, Wahoo Fishing - High Speed Trolling Cay Sal
Who doesn't like reel screaming wahoo fishing action? That is what you get in this snippet from our full length High Speed Trolling video. Even though In The Spread focuses on information and learning, we are fishermen first and love the action. When we filmed this video, there was an approaching front and as we neared the end of our day the bite turned on. Once the wahoo starting biting, it was bam, bam, bam, fish in the boat and nice ones to boot. You will hear talk about how when you have a frontal system approaching, the bite can last well past the tide. You will also get some nifty fishing tips on how to handle wahoo after you boat them. Grabbing them by the gill rakers gives you control over the fish, so you can snap a few pics. Enjoy this gratuitous wahoo fishing action and remember to give thanks to those that taught you. Thanks for watching.
