Local Species Insights: Great Barracuda
The Great Barracuda is one of the most exciting species to target in Riviera Beach waters. These sleek, toothy predators are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs when hooked. You'll find them patrolling reef edges, wrecks, and underwater structures throughout the Palm Beach area, where they ambush passing prey with lightning-fast attacks.
When targeting Barracuda, Captain Rich often employs flashy lures, tube lures, or live bait rigged with wire leaders to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth. The spring months in Riviera Beach are particularly productive, as warming waters increase barracuda activity and feeding behavior. Their aerial displays and fierce fighting ability make them a favorite sport fish, especially for anglers seeking the thrill of battling a truly powerful predator.
