Pictured here is Carly and Cody Bandura with a trophy sized 62-pound wahoo caught a few days back. This fish was caught trolling a C-Witch and bonito strip on a planer. Cody Bandura was the mate on the “Lisa B” for several years out of Lighthouse Point. This wahoo was taken on one of Cody 's handmade c-witches and is his biggest date caught on the planer. This is truly an amazing catch as a fish of this size was caught without wire and relatively light tackle. It definitely takes skill to put a fish like this in the boat. The best of the wahoo bite has been in around 200 feet of water.
The kingfish bite actually picked up as well this week. Quite a few boats had kingfish up to 15 pounds with a few bonito mixed in.
Lastly don’t forget about the Snapper! Yellowtail and mutton snapper are still biting so give it a go. If you need to get set up with tackle or an up-to-date fishing report, give us a call and the shop.
Also give us a listen at 105.9 “The Paul Castronovo show” at 6:40 AM on Fridays for an up-to-date report.
Tight lines,
