A little known fact is that during the quiet season in Madeira, in other words after the Marlin season has finished, there is fantastic Wahoo fishing. As anyone who has ever experienced the thrill and sheer excitement of being in a battle with such a creature will tell you, there is no rush like it, as a very large Wahoo smashes into your lures with such force and vigour, turning your sleeping reel into a pure screaming machine. Double and triple hook ups are not uncommon and when this happens all hell breaks loose and it is all hands on deck.

You will fish with one of our best captains, who have been fishing these Madeira coastal waters for over twelve years. Each day you will get to experience 8 hours of fishing. Methods used normally involve 20 to 30lb class rods and multipliers, trolling Rapala's at high speed. Takes are intense, so do not be caught sleeping. These fish are nicknamed the cheaters of the sea, due to their amazing turn of speed, if they turn and run towards you it is difficult to reel fast enough to keep the line tight.

Regardless if you are a complete beginner or an expert, Wahoo fishing is for everyone. With this great introduction to game fishing coupled with the beauty of Madeira makes this one destination not to be missed. Therefore, if you are looking for a quick winter break with something different this holiday is ideal for you.
