The area is not known to hold great numbers of these fast fish, but you never know. They are found year round in random numbers, however one of these as a catch can provide a GREAT DINNER!
The body is elongated and covered with small, scarcely visible scales; the back is an iridescent blue, while the sides are silvery, with a pattern of irregular vertical blue bars and have razor sharp teeth.These colors fade rapidly at death. The mouth is large, and both the upper and lower jaws have a somewhat sharper appearance than those of king or Spanish mackerel. Specimens have been recorded at up to 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) in length, and weighing up to 83 kilograms (180 lb) Growth can be rapid. One specimen tagged at 5 kilograms (11 lb) grew to 15 kg (33 lb) in one year. Wahoo can swim up to 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), (Firestein and Walters, 1969). They are one of the fastest fish in the sea.
The wahoo may be distinguished from the related Atlantic king mackerel and from the Indo-Pacific Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel by a fold of skin which covers the mandible when its mouth is closed. In contrast, the mandible of the king mackerel is always visible as is also the case for the smaller Spanish mackerel and Cero mackerel. The teeth of the wahoo are similar to those of king mackerel, but shorter and more closely set together.
The barracuda is sometimes confused with mackerel and wahoo, but is easy to distinguish from the latter two species. Barracuda have prominent scales, larger, dagger-like teeth, and lack the caudal keels and blade-like tail characteristic of the scombrid (mackerel/tuna/seerfish) family of fish.
The origin of the name "wahoo" is not definitely known. One theory holds that European explorers found the fish in abundance near the Hawaiian island of Oahu, the name of which was rendered on maps at the time as "Wahoo."
Finding the right the Costa Rica charter boat for your party is something that requires expertise and many years of "local knowledge." That is why we maintain experts in both the U.S. and Costa Rica to ensure your trip is a success. Who wants to risk an entire trip on out dated information? Good captains move from boat to boat, depending on many factors.
Tico Travel makes "local knowledge" their business and we ONLY work with those that we know provide a quality product. While the list of the boats on our site is not "exhaustive" they are boats we stand behind for service and quality. We work with many great boats not named here, but we do prefer to start with those named here. Call us to see which is best for your group(experienced anglers, older anglers, young adults or true fly or inshore experts) and we will make sure to pair you up with the right team.
