Local Species Insights: King Mackerel
King Mackerel (Kingfish) are among the most exciting gamefish you'll encounter in Riviera Beach waters. These powerful predators are known for their blistering runs and aerial displays when hooked. April is prime time for targeting Kings around Palm Beach County, as they migrate through these waters following bait schools.
Trolling with live bait or flashy spoons is the most productive method for targeting these speedsters. Captain Rich typically sets up a spread of baits at varying depths to intercept feeding fish. When a King Mackerel hits, you'll know it immediately from the screaming drag and powerful initial run. The average catch runs 10-20 pounds, but trophy specimens exceeding 30 pounds are not uncommon in these productive waters.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
For your 4-hour fishing adventure, plan to arrive at the Riviera Beach City Marina about 30 minutes before departure time. Wear comfortable clothes, non-marking shoes, and bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen). The boat comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests with shaded areas available when you need a break from the sun.
All fishing equipment is provided, including quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait. The vessel is equipped with safety equipment exceeding Coast Guard requirements, and Captain Rich prioritizes safe, enjoyable experiences for all skill levels. Don't forget your camera to document your catches, and consider bringing a small cooler for your beverages and snacks. At trip's end, the crew will clean your legal-to-keep catch so you can take home fresh fillets.
