Local Species Insights: Little Tunny
Little tunny (also called false albacore or bonito in some regions) are abundant in the waters off West Palm Beach. These torpedo-shaped members of the tuna family are known for their blistering runs and stamina when hooked. Typically found in schools, they feed aggressively on small baitfish near the surface, creating the famous "breaking water" that alerts captains to their presence.
When fishing for little tunny in West Palm Beach, light to medium spinning tackle with fast retrieval rates works best. Captain Rich Adler typically targets these fish by looking for bird activity or surface commotion, then approaching carefully to avoid spooking the school. Small, shiny lures that mimic anchovies or pilchards are particularly effective, as are small jigs worked quickly through the water column.
