How to spearfish Wahoo. Want to spear a fish that will make you scream WAHOO! Adreno's Wayne Judge and Dr Who himself (Ian Shields) talk about hunting a prize pelagic Wahoo; how to do it, when to do it, where to do it.
Wahoo are as beautiful on the plate as they are in the ocean, but beware, this fish can bite back.
The Wahoo is one of the most difficult fish to catch. With high power, speed and a cautious nature they are guaranteed to test your gear and experience. If you aren’t packing some quality equipment which has been maintained, they will make the most of it. This is where the accuracy of your shot comes in, because this will be key in making or breaking the catch. Shooting behind or into the head will give you a good chance of holding or stoning the fish. Your experience and technique are important in judging when to take your shot.
The normal shaft set up is sufficient, or a breakaway for when you need to fend of sharks. Larger guns around 1.4m are generally best as they provide the power needed. A standard set up with a 25m float line and large buoy is best for shooting wahoo, especially for when they initially make a run. This provides better success in landing the fish and better safety.
Open water situations such as in the coral sea of the coast of Australia can provide conditions for schools of wahoo. It’s best to try for wahoo in quieter boating periods when the fish haven’t been scared away in around 25m of water around reefs and other structures. But always remember, where there’s fish there’s more fish.
Always take your time with wahoo, they are easily scared and need to become curious and comfortable with you for you to get the opportunity for a decent shot. When pulling in the fish with the float line, always be sure to swim off to one side to avoid it accumulating nearby in large clumps which can limit your movement and create tangles if the fish runs. Once you pull the fish in, grab the tail and flip the fish to put them to sleep. Once you’ve done this you can dispatch the fish using your dive knife.
Always keep in mind that these pelagic fish are strong and dangerous, with sharp teeth that can easily inflict damage. When you put a spear and a knife into the mix, it’s imperative that you take care to catch the fish properly.
Good luck out there, we hope you’re able to land your own wahoo soon!
