Local Species Insights: Jolthead Porgy

Jolthead Porgy are prized catches in West Palm Beach waters, known for their excellent table fare and surprising fight despite their modest size. These reef dwellers inhabit offshore and nearshore structures where they feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and small fish. The name "Jolthead" comes from their feeding behavior of jolting prey from rocky surfaces with powerful jaw movements.

During November, Jolthead Porgy are commonly found around reef systems and hard bottom areas in 40-120 feet of water. They respond well to bottom fishing techniques using cut bait, squid, or small crabs presented near structure. Their silver-pink coloration and distinctive head profile make them easy to identify, and their firm white meat makes them a favorite among anglers who enjoy eating their catch.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Your deep sea fishing charter includes a fully equipped sportfishing vessel with all necessary tackle, safety equipment, and fish cleaning services. We provide rod and reel combinations suitable for both bottom fishing and trolling, along with a variety of baits and lures proven effective in local waters. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 6 anglers with plenty of fighting space and shaded areas for breaks between the action.

Departure times are typically early morning to take advantage of prime fishing hours and cooler conditions. Captain Rich Adler will brief you on safety procedures and fishing techniques before heading to the most productive areas based on current conditions and seasonal patterns. All trips include professional fish cleaning and bagging services so you can take your catch home ready for the table.
