[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ahoo are now congregating in South Eleuthera as we are reporting really good size catches all along our western side of the island in the Exuma Sound, thanks to the cooler temperatures and favorable currents moving in.

Wahoo will remain the main target fish for anglers through the new year, but you can still count on a mixed bag of mahi-mahi and tuna. Reports confirm that the good size wahoo are hitting ballyhoo with a pink skirt.

Bamboo Point off of Deep Creek is seeing favorable currents from the Atlantic coming up the leeward side of South Eleuthera showing the most promise for a wahoo bite in January

Double digit bonefish have also been sighted around the South Eleuthera estuaries. Anglers are using artificial crab and shrimp on fly-rods.
