Local Species Insights: Little Tunny
Little tunny, sometimes called false albacore or bonito (though true bonito is a different species), are among the most exciting gamefish in South Florida waters. These torpedo-shaped members of the tuna family are known for blistering runs that will test both your tackle and your technique. They typically range from 5-15 pounds but can grow larger, with the 23-inch specimen caught recently being a typical representation of what you might encounter.
These fish are usually found in the nearshore to offshore waters around Riviera Beach, often feeding on small baitfish near the surface. When they're actively feeding, you'll see them busting bait on the surface—a thrilling sight that signals fast action ahead. Captain Rich targets these speedsters using light to medium tackle, making for an exciting and sporting experience. While not considered premium table fare by most anglers, they're primarily targeted for their spectacular fighting ability and the challenge they present.

When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the marina 15-30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear comfortable clothing, non-slip shoes, and bring sun protection including sunscreen, hat, and polarized sunglasses. The boat is equipped with coolers for your drinks and food, and there's storage space for any personal items you need to bring along.
Most fishing charters in the West Palm Beach area run for 4-8 hours, with morning trips often providing the most productive fishing conditions.
