Local Species Insights: Mutton Snapper
Mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) are highly sought-after reef fish found throughout Florida's coastal waters. These fish typically inhabit reef structures, rocky bottoms, and wrecks where they feed on crustaceans, smaller fish, and mollusks. In the Riviera Beach area, muttons are often found around natural and artificial reefs at depths of 30-100 feet.
Successful mutton snapper fishing typically involves using live bait such as pilchards, pinfish, or shrimp. Light to medium tackle with fluorocarbon leaders works well, as these fish can be line-shy despite their aggressive feeding habits. Captain Rich specializes in the techniques needed to entice these sometimes-finicky feeders, including proper anchoring, chumming, and bait presentation.
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 clothing, bring sun protection, and consider bringing a small cooler for drinks and snacks. Captain Rich provides all fishing gear, licenses, and ice for your catch. Most trips accommodate 2-6 anglers comfortably, making this an ideal outing for families, friends, or corporate groups. Morning trips typically begin around sunrise, while afternoon charters usually depart around noon, both taking advantage of prime feeding periods.
