About Wahoo Fishing in Grand Anse
One of the fastest fish in the ocean. Prized for firm, white flesh and blistering runs.
Wahoo are one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of bursts over 60 mph. These torpedo-shaped predators have a sleek, elongated body with vivid blue-black vertical bars on a bright silver-blue background. The bars become more vivid when the fish is excited or feeding. Their narrow, beak-like snout is filled with razor-sharp triangular teeth that can slice through bait (and fingers) instantly. When hooked, the initial run is blistering — often stripping 200+ yards of line in seconds before the fish slows.
Scientific name: Acanthocybium solandri

How to Catch Wahoo in Grand Anse
Techniques & Bait
High-speed trolling (12-18 knots) with skirted lures, Rapala Magnums, and wahoo bombs behind a planer is the most effective technique. Slow-trolling live blue runners or bonito on wire leaders near temperature breaks and current edges produces trophy fish. Deep-dropping live bait on a downrigger to 100-200 feet under the boat when wahoo are marked on the sonar accounts for many large fish. The key is wire leader — wahoo teeth cut anything else instantly.
Recommended Tackle
Heavy trolling rod, 50 lb class reel, 60-80 lb monofilament or braid, #7-#10 single-strand wire leader or heavy cable (wahoo teeth require wire). For live bait: medium-heavy spinning with wire leader.

Southwest Shelf Edge
The shelf edge southwest of Grand Anse drops into deep Caribbean water where blue marlin, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna patrol the depth transition. The southwest drop is Grand Anse's closest offshore fishing ground and the primary destination for bluewater charters.
Grenada Bank South
The southern edge of the Grenada Bank provides extensive trolling grounds for blue marlin, sailfish, and wahoo along the depth break where the bank drops into the deep Caribbean basin. Current rips along the bank edge mark productive trolling lanes.
Grenadines Channel
The deep channel between Grenada and the Grenadine Islands funnels Caribbean currents through a productive passage where wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and mahi-mahi concentrate along current edges. The channel is a major offshore destination for Grand Anse-based charter boats.
South Caribbean FADs
Fish Aggregating Devices deployed south of Grenada in deep Caribbean water attract mahi-mahi, wahoo, and blackfin tuna to floating structure. Grand Anse provides the closest base for accessing the productive southern FAD sites.
