Kevin Sawyer, of Island Boy Tackle in Marsh Harbour, reports that the wahoo will still be pretty plentiful through February and indeed there have been some large ones caught over the last month. Plenty of mahi-mahi are hitting the docks, but they have been small. However, Kevin said at press time, “We are now starting to see some size to them and they are averaging in the 20 to 25 pound range”.
More tuna will begins to show as February progresses and into March. While Nassau grouper season is closed until the beginning of March, many other species of grouper will be available along with mutton snapper for bottom fishing enthusiasts.
Similar reports are in from the Treasure Cay/North Abaco area as well, with dolphin and wahoo the main targeted species. From Marsh Harbour south to Hole-in-the-Wall, conditions should be pretty much the same as in the north, lots of wahoo and an increasing number (and size) of mahi-mahi and yellowfin tuna.
