Interesting theory on the empty wahoos being the ones to eat. In the northern gulf, we routinely catch them full of pogies and even blackfin in the wintertime. Potentially different behaviors based on region
Could be for sure. Ive just caught way too many with empty stomachs for it to be a coincidence. Please join my new streaming channel at www.FSFTV.com. - Capt Mike
great show as always , great success ! best part is the good times and memories you got with your brother i personally keep it much lighter on the lines and less connections

Great video, we are looking forward to doing some trolling for Wahoo this year in the keys as we just picked up a new boat;) Thank-you for the great detail on the spread, my question is do you find that you have better luck turning to the starboard or port for quick turn arounds with your configuration?
Hi Mike, Just saw your wahoo video today. I’ve fished for wahoo for years off of Baja Mexico. Your early bite is true when fishing inshore in the Cabo San Lucas area. But away from the resort areas fishing offshore like Alijos Rocks, the Ridge and Offshore island it’s an all day bite. Over the past 40 years of chasing wahoo I’ve found that during dark of the moon the hoos will move into popular fishing grounds. Have you found the same in your area?
Wahoo has become my favorite fish off NJ in late July and Aug these days. We've gotten a pretty consistent bite between 20 and 30 fathoms on our lumps. I kind of do a hybrid spread to be able to also get bluefin, yellowfin, and Mahi. I honestly get the most wahoo bites on an 18in pink splash bar I run on the shotgun rod with and islander pink flasher with a ballyhoo.
Problem there are the barracudas and sharks, which is why high speeding is the name of the game across the pond.

The 60lbs braid youre using is probably not hollow core, so no splicing in the topshot. Whats your favorite way to connect a not-so-crazy-thick braid with a 130lbs topshot? FG? Thank you!
You are a little bit crazy lifting that fish up w that lure in its mouth, one good head shake and it can toss those hooks right into you or someone else on the boat. That would wreck your day!
Thanks for your informative videos as always. Two questions: 1) how are you tying the braid to the 150 leader knot? crimp? other? 2) your 220 lb on the plug looks to be about 4' is that correct?
Amazing, can you make a video of the area you run for catch a wahoo(not your spot) but areas they moves how looks in the sonar . Good vibes from puerto rico!
Ive had success on the Nomad plugs and on planers with drone spoon blue and hologram one. ive tried high speed a dozen times es and nada! down in keywest by light house in 125-200ft and in marathon! 🍺
Nomad claims their dtx 220 will run at a depth of 50' and the 200 at 40'. Have you found their claim to be incorrect? You indicated 8-12' for the 200 and only 20' for the 220.

Have DTX made an effort to get more "barb" on their hooks? They still look pretty smooth to me. I've heard mixed reviews from people that have lost fish even with pressure on that they claim wouldn't have been lost on a MagTrak or a typical Marauder-style lure default hook. If being without a pronounced barb makes them track better then I guess you just take more strikes for more losses and enjoy the extra action. Anyway, great show and I hope some of that ended up wrapped in bacon.
Its true, very small barbs on those hooks, they are BBK hooks, so someone might need to have a word with them. I have lost fish to pulled hooks too but impossible to know if that was the cause.

Captain Mike, you’re a beast. You have the best fishing content on RUclips. Looking for a utility, do it all inshore, bay, beach, pier fishing spinning rod and reel. Something hopefully less the $200. Do you have any recommendations Captain Mike? Thanks!
There are plenty of off the shelf combos that will meet your needs, in that price bracket though its more important than ever to take good care of equipment, wash/dry after every use and make sure to keep all moving parts well lubed.

I use nothing but Diamond XHard mono, as light as 150lb, on my plugs and ballyhoo rigs when fishing for wahoo. Haven’t lost one yet. Only time I use steel is when I’m high speed trolling
Wire works, no question, but 220 mono and i get more bites, however I do change chaffed leaders often.Please join my new streaming channel at www.FSFTV.com. 300+ Instructional videos, no RUclips ads, a 24/7 fishing helpline and more!

Hey Kapt. I am a Dutchman in Curacao. I follow your videos day by day. Is there a special reason why you use only hard lure this morning ? What is the special part of the body of the wahoo for you to hook the gaf in a wahoo ?
Capt Mike, I see that you stopped the boat versus keeping it going. Was that because it was just the two of you? Also, how are each DTX arranged as far as how long u let them out for
Please watch the video again, I explain the spread in detail. We were going down current, no risk of lines under boat.

I'm curious, are you double crimping those? Thanks... Chris
Would you say slowing the troll this spread would be good to target grouper and barracuda in 20-40 ft?

I have found these nomad hooks are terrible. I changed to a double hook (two hooks in a V shape) setup with a much bigger barb and had great results.
Missed the gaff shot a little,lol
Great videos! No wire for wahoo? In Fiji you need a wire leader to catch wahoo!

Ever had fish cut mono. I use 9 strand had a fish shred it last year in front of a dtx just curious if mono helps fish just see the bait?
