Join us for a day of Wahoo fishing and Grouper fishing in the Dry Tortugas!
We set out early for an exciting day of fishing in Florida, heading 70 miles offshore to the legendary Dry Tortugas fishing grounds.
Our plan for the morning was to start off trolling for Wahoo and seeing what else would bite. Within minutes of putting out our lines, we hooked up to a massive Wahoo. It was one of the biggest we’ve ever caught on rod and reel. After resetting, we landed another Wahoo, slightly smaller but still an epic catch. In this video, we share our favorite Wahoo fishing rigs and lures that help us consistently hook up to these fish.
Just when we thought things couldn’t get better, we got tripled up! We honestly had no idea what to expect, but we ended up landing two Kingfish and a 50-pound Black Grouper.. an absolute beast. Even more special, it was our friend Doug’s first Black Grouper, making the moment one we will always remember.
Next, we decided to switch gears to do some bottom fishing. We explored a few new spots without much luck—until we hit the jackpot on our fourth drop. We dropped down a jig and ended up pulling up a rare Yellowmouth Grouper, a species we had never caught before!
As we continued Grouper fishing, we landed a Yellowedge Grouper, several large Snowy Groupers, a Scorpion Fish, and a Long-Tail Bass. The variety of species in the Dry Tortugas fishing grounds is truly unreal.
To cap off the day, we threw out some live pilchards and hooked up to Blackfin Tuna on our way back—an epic way to end an already action-packed trip.
There’s no doubt that Dry Tortugas fishing offers some of the best offshore fishing in Florida, and we were incredibly lucky to experience such an unforgettable day on the water.
