Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters in Riviera Beach, plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before your scheduled departure time. The boat is well-equipped with quality fishing gear, fish-finding electronics, and safety equipment. Captain Rich recommends bringing sun protection, comfortable non-marking shoes, a light jacket, and any personal beverages or snacks you might want. Morning trips often provide the most productive fishing for triggerfish and other reef species, though afternoon trips can be equally successful depending on tides and conditions. The captain will handle fish cleaning and preparation if you wish to keep your legal catch, allowing you to enjoy fresh triggerfish for dinner that evening.
