About Wahoo Fishing in St. George's
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 St. George's
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.
Best Deep Sea Fishing Fishing Spots in St. George's
Top spots where local captains target wahoo and other deep sea fishing species.
Grenada Bank Edge
The Grenada Bank's outer edge drops into deep Caribbean water where blue marlin, sailfish, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna patrol the shelf break. The bank extends for miles around Grenada and provides extensive offshore trolling grounds. Grenada is known as the "Spice Island" of sportfishing.
South Coast Drop-Off
The shelf edge south of St. George's drops rapidly into deep Caribbean water where blue marlin, white marlin, and large wahoo concentrate along temperature breaks and current seams. The south coast drop-off is accessible within a short run from St. George's harbor.
Caribbean FADs
Fish Aggregating Devices deployed around Grenada attract mahi-mahi, wahoo, and blackfin tuna to floating structure in deep Caribbean water. Grenada's FAD program is one of the most active in the Eastern Caribbean, providing reliable offshore action year-round.
Kick 'em Jenny Seamount
Kick 'em Jenny is a submarine volcano north of Grenada that rises from the deep Caribbean floor. The seamount's volcanic vents create nutrient-rich upwelling that attracts an extraordinary food chain, concentrating wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and blue marlin along the depth changes surrounding the seamount.
