Nice 'Hoo report from Bill Erhardt

We have been receiving some very positive feedback on our Wahoobites and Wahoobite Jr lures. Our customer Bill Erhardt was fishing off of the Baja Peninsula this week and reported consistant wahoo action on our lures. The color of choice seemed to be red/black, with pink coming in a close second.

Bill writes:

"Mike, I received my order last week...Yesterday I used the Bigbite Wahoobite along side with an orange and black Yozuri Bonita. I caught 5 'hoos by noon and called it quits. 4 of the 5 fish were caught with the Bigbite Wahoobite. Today we went out again and I put out the Bigbite and caught a 60+ pounder. With all the fish being caught, the eyes were knocked clean off!"

Bill, dont worry about the eyes.. You keep catching those nice fish and we'll get some replacements in the mail to ya!!

Nice Wahoo!

We were contacted by our customer Steve Sprague this week and he had a fish story to tell. On January 7th, 2009 he was trolling our pink/black "wahoo-bite" off the coast of Palm Beach, FL. His speed was 14 knots, and the fish weighed 50+ pounds. His email to us concluded by saying: "Nice way to start the new year!". You got that right Steve! Thanks for sharing!

Wahoo Season appears to be near..

We have been talking to fellow fishermen in our area, and it appears that wahoo are starting to enter our waters in thicker numbers.. When summer starts to give way to autumn, wahoo fishermen get giddy with the thought of line peeling off their reels at a staggering pace.. It is common for a mid-size wahoo to dump 1/2 the line of a 30 pound outfit on its initial run!

The crew of Bigbite Offshore has perfected their technique for targeting these torpedo's of the ocean. This particular wahoo was caught on our red wahoobite, and it can be found on our website at: click-here

We will be more than happy to share our experiences with everyone in the coming months! Until then, be sure to keep 'em tight!

Old Wahoo Footage

This video is an oldie, but goodie!! One of the many good times on Mike's old 19 Mako "Kingfisher II". That Mako may have been small, but she sure did take care of us. This particular trip we had heard of reports of wahoo being caught south of Port Everglades all week. So Mike puts together a crew of three, Mike, Manny, and Pete. We decide that the earlier the better so we hit the inlet at just after dawn. The plan was to troll some BigBite Offshore "Wahoo-Bites" wahoo lures over the reefs in a zig-zag motion between 90-250. It didn't take very long before the line started peeling off and we knew what we had in store. WAHOO, AKA ONO for anglers out west. This video is the final 2:30 of the fight. Manny was on the rod, Mike on the gaff, and Pete filming the video. Enjoy the footage.

Storms, Storms, and more Storms

Time to get back into the blogging so here we go..... Unfortunately there will be no fishing this weekend due to a tropical wave coming through South Florida this weekend. The forecast for the upcoming week and weekend are not looking good either. We have two more systems brewing in the Atlantic that look like they might affect our weather toward the end of the weekend. Let's keep our fingers crossed that these don't form into hurricanes. On another note we have heard of some nice wahoo being caught a little farther north around Stuart with a 102lb wahoo landed in the past week. Time to start to think about getting you high speed trolling setup out. If you need any new gear you can go ahead and log onto www.bigbiteoffshore.com. We have everything you will need to successfully go offshore and high speed troll. Our "Wahoo-Bite" wahoo lure has been extremely productive when trolling behind our "high speed trolling rigs" at speeds up to 18knots. BigBite Offshore carries three different trolling weights (24, 36, & 48oz) and finishes off the rig with 25 feet of 250lb Mono shock leader. BigBite Offshore also has just released the much anticipated "Wahoo-Trolling Rod". This 50lb class rod is specially designed for high speed trolling and deep dropping. The bent butt rod has all Pacific Bay Eliminator Jr. roller guides and is topped off with a swivel to ensure your line doesn't get compromised on the guides. To view some very detailed pics you can go to http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/album.php?aid=93308&id=98153142548. To order your rod log onto www.bigbiteoffshore.com. Also if you are on Facebook, become a fan of BigBite Offshore and post your fishing pics and success stories. For every success story posted BigBite Offshore will send out a free lure!! Let's pray to the weather gods for these storms to die down so we can get out and catch'em up!!
