[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he wahoo hasn’t started to heat up as of mid-October when this forecast was penned, but November should be a really good month for wahoo. The cold fronts should start flowing down from the U.S. and this will cool the water down, which is excellent for wahoo. These speedsters are best caught by high-speed trolling. They can be also caught using Islander lures with ballyhoo. The yellowfin tuna action should also start to heat up in November. Best formulas for a successful hookup are cedar plugs and various feathers and lures. Both wahoo and also liked trolled Rapala X-Rap lures. The red snapper bite is also typically very good in November. These can be caught with squid in depths ranging from 200 feet to 1000 feet. All the above species can be caught at Dutch Bar, Shallow Ground, and James Point, and all of them also like live bait.
