When targetting big wahoo, there really is no better bait than a chunk little bonita we call "bullets". They are awesome slow trolled and the bites are epic.
In order to catch bonita, you will need to troll feathers. We do so around the whistle buoy in Fort Lauderdale with regular success. Once you catch them, you will need "tuna tubes" to keep them alive. They will not live in your typical baitwell.
We then head offshore to about 90 to 300 foot of water looking for rips, weedlines, birds, etc. Any signs of life before deploying baits.
We use a triple hook treble rig that places a bait t the roof of mouth, and each side of the bait. This is the best way to get that hook set from a big wahoo or kingfish. We set the drag light and let the fish take the bait before coming tight.
Fish on!
