Highlights of Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Our offshore charters from Riviera Beach put you right in the action zone where multiple species can be targeted throughout the day. During your full-day adventure, you'll experience various fishing methods as we work both deeper structure and surface areas depending on where the fish are active. The fall season offers consistent action with Grey Triggerfish, King Mackerel, and various other species responding well to our techniques.

With a maximum of 6 people per charter, everyone gets plenty of time with a rod in hand. The partly cloudy conditions typical of this time of year provide comfortable fishing weather while maintaining good visibility in the water. Our experienced team knows exactly where to position the boat for maximum success based on current conditions and seasonal patterns.

Local Species Insights: Hardhead Sea Catfish

The Hardhead Sea Catfish is a common catch in the inshore and nearshore waters around Riviera Beach. These hardy fish are easily identified by their hard, bony plate on the head and distinctive whisker-like barbels. While not typically targeted as a gamefish, they're frequently encountered when fishing near the bottom with natural baits.

When fishing for Hardhead Catfish, they respond well to shrimp, cut bait, or fish chunks fished on the bottom. They tend to school up in areas with sandy or muddy bottoms and can be found year-round in Florida waters. Despite being considered a nuisance fish by many anglers, they put up a decent fight for their size and are actually quite abundant in our local ecosystem.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your offshore adventure with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive early morning as fishing is typically best at first light. Wear comfortable clothing, bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and consider bringing a light jacket as morning temperatures can be cool even in Florida. The boat is well-equipped with all necessary fishing gear, safety equipment, and fish storage.

You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks for the day, and we recommend packing a cooler with ice. While we provide all fishing gear and expertise, consider bringing a camera to document your catches, and don't forget cash for the mate's gratuity at the end of your successful day on the water.
