Local Species Insights: Great Barracuda
The Great Barracuda is one of Palm Beach's most exciting gamefish. These torpedo-shaped predators are instantly recognizable by their sleek silver bodies, menacing teeth, and lightning-fast strikes. Found year-round in Florida's coastal waters, barracuda are particularly abundant around reefs, wrecks, and other structure where baitfish congregate. In March, as waters begin warming, barracuda become increasingly active in the Riviera Beach area, often hunting in the same zones where sailfish and other pelagics are found.
Targeting barracuda requires fast-moving lures or live baits presented with speed. Their explosive strikes and powerful runs make them a favorite among anglers looking for an adrenaline rush. While not traditionally considered prime table fare due to the risk of ciguatera in larger specimens, the sporting qualities of barracuda make them a prized catch-and-release species. Captain Rich's extensive local knowledge helps put clients on these exciting predators throughout the year.
