Local Species Insights: Little Tunny

The Little Tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus), also known as false albacore or bonito in Florida, is a popular gamefish found in the waters off Riviera Beach. These speedsters are renowned for their blistering runs and fighting ability that far exceeds their size. Typically ranging from 5-15 pounds, they travel in schools and can be found from nearshore waters to several miles offshore.

Anglers target Little Tunny using fast-retrieve techniques with small shiny lures, spoons, or by trolling. When schools are feeding on the surface, casting small jigs or flies into the frenzy can produce exciting results. These fish are particularly abundant during their migration periods in spring and fall, though they can be caught year-round in Florida waters. While not considered premium table fare by most anglers, they make excellent bait for larger species and can be prepared in ways that minimize their stronger flavor profile.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the marina about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear comfortable clothes, non-slip shoes, and bring sun protection including sunscreen, hat, and polarized sunglasses. The charter provides all necessary fishing equipment, but you may want to bring a camera, snacks, and beverages. Most trips range from 4-8 hours depending on your package choice.

The vessel is equipped with safety gear, marine electronics, and comfortable seating. Captain Rich welcomes anglers of all skill levels, providing guidance for beginners while offering technical insights for experienced fishermen. Weather conditions in Riviera Beach are typically favorable for fishing throughout the year, though morning trips often provide calmer seas and more active fish.
