Local Species Insights: Little Tunny
Little tunny, also known as false albacore or bonito in some regions, are prized for their impressive fighting ability. These streamlined speedsters can be found in the waters off Riviera Beach throughout much of the year, though they're often most abundant during migration periods when they follow baitfish schools. Typically ranging from 5-15 pounds, they provide exceptional sport on light tackle.
When targeting little tunny, Captain Rich often employs fast-moving lures that mimic the small baitfish these predators feed on. Look for birds working over the water, as this often indicates feeding activity below. Little tunny make blistering runs when hooked, sometimes peeling hundreds of feet of line on the initial strike. While not considered premium table fare by most anglers, they're primarily targeted for their sporting qualities and are typically released after the fight.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the designated meeting point about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Captain Rich typically provides all necessary fishing equipment, including quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait. The boat is equipped with safety gear, fish-finding electronics, and comfortable seating for clients.
Charters can accommodate small groups, making this an ideal activity for families, friends, or corporate outings. Morning trips often provide the best conditions, with calmer seas and active fish. Dress in layers, wear non-marking shoes, and bring sun protection including hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Don't forget a camera to document your catches, and consider bringing a small cooler for any fish you might keep (following all regulations). Most importantly, come with a positive attitude and ready to experience the excitement of Florida's coastal fishery.
