BARRACUDA
BARRACUDA ARE A SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL SPECIES IN OUR AREA. THEY OFFER STEADY ACTION ON THOSE DAYS WHEN OTHER SPECIES ARE HARD TO CATCH. BIG CUDAS ARE GOOD JUMPERS, AND TOUGH FIGHTERS ON LIGHT TROLLING TACKLE. THEY ATTACK LARGE BAITS AND EVEN HOOKED FISH WITH AMAZING SPEED AND BRUTALITY. BARRACUDA CONGRAGATE ON STRUCTURES SUCH AS REEFS, SPRINGS AND EVEN WEEDLINES WAITING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EASY MEALS. THIS BEHAVIOR CAN BECOME A NUSANCE SOMEDAYS WHEN EVERY KINGFISH, GROUPER AND SNAPPER HOOKED, GETS MURDERIZED BY THE CUDAS BEFORE THEY CAN BE BOATED. BARRACUDAS CAN RANGE IN SIZE FROM 5 TO 75 POUNDS. THE SMALLER FISH ARE CONSIDERED FAIR FOOD VALUE BUT MOST ARE RELEASED. BARRACUDAS CAN OFFER THAT BIG FISH EXCITEMENT TO MOST ANY OFFSHORE TRIP.
