[dropcap]Y[/dropcap]ellowfin tuna and wahoo will be running strong. The wahoo bite was good in November and should be getting better for December due to the water getting cooler. These can be caught at either of the points of bar such as Shallow Ground Pinnacle and James Point. The best bait is of course live bait but trolling lures rigged with ballyhoo and artificial lures will work. The bite for mutton snapper should also be picking up in December. These can be caught inside of the reef mainly in channels in depths of 15 to 60 feet of water. Best bait bet for muttons is squid.
