Local Species Insights: Atlantic Sharpnose Shark

The Atlantic Sharpnose Shark is a common coastal species found in the waters off Riviera Beach. These sharks prefer near-shore environments including bays, estuaries, and areas around reefs. They're particularly active during warmer months when they move closer to shore. Anglers targeting Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks typically use fresh cut bait such as mullet, bonito, or mackerel fished on the bottom or in the water column. Their quick runs and aerial displays when hooked make them an exciting catch even for experienced anglers. Captain Rich uses specialized tackle that provides enough strength to land these powerful fish while still offering a sporting challenge. The best time to target these sharks around Riviera Beach is during the summer and early fall when water temperatures are ideal for their feeding activity.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the marina about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, with layers recommended even during warmer months. Don't forget sun protection including hats, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen. The charter provides all fishing equipment, but you're welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer. A small cooler with your preferred beverages and snacks is recommended, though some charters may provide water. Captain Rich welcomes anglers of all experience levels and will tailor the trip to match your skills and interests. Remember that fishing is weather-dependent, so flexibility with scheduling may occasionally be necessary for safety and comfort.
