WITH Wahoo season in full swing, many people have been asking the Bahamas Sport Fishing Network (BSFN) what is the hottest Wahoo lure on the market.

Pete Shultz, the expert at Fishing Headquarters, Jupiter, Florida, and host of the ESPN radio show says: “The original high-speed trolling hard bait has been re-designed with upgraded features and a lower price point. Yo-Zuri new Bonita boasts our patented colour change technology on the top of the bait and a smooth scale pattern on the sides. Featuring the patented Power Body, flat forged stainless steel hooks and stainless steel ball bearing swivels; this is the most durable trolling lure on the market.

“Designed to be fished behind a trolling lead or straight off the rod tip, Bonita are particularly deadly on Wahoo and Tuna. This versatile trolling lure can be pulled from six to 15 knots and features a tight swimming action. The Yo-Zuri Bonita comes in two sizes and seven colour patterns to cover a variety of fishing conditions.”

Keep checking the BSFN expert page for fishing reports throughout the Bahamas: this will be very helpful in tracking the “hot spots” and providing advice on gear and fishing methods being used.
