Local Species Insights: Southern Kingcroaker

The Southern Kingcroaker (Menticirrhus americanus) is a prized catch in Riviera Beach waters. These fish typically run 12-20 inches in length and 1-3 pounds in weight. They prefer onshore areas and river mouths where they can feed along sandy bottoms. When targeting these fish, bottom fishing techniques work best with fresh shrimp, cut bait, or small jigs. Fall is actually a great time to target them as they tend to school up in deeper nearshore waters. The fight is surprisingly strong for their size, making them a fun catch on light tackle. Their distinctive barbel under the chin and beautiful silver coloration with dark stripes make them easy to identify once you've landed one.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our fishing charters depart early morning from Riviera Beach, giving you the best shot at active fish. The boat is equipped with quality fishing gear, including rods, reels, and tackle appropriate for the target species. For your comfort, there's shade available and storage for any personal items you bring along. We recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and bringing a hat and polarized sunglasses. Motion sickness medication is advisable if you're prone to seasickness. Our 4-hour trips provide the perfect balance of fishing time without being too long for beginners or families with children. Captain Rich prioritizes both fishing success and safety on every trip, ensuring an enjoyable experience regardless of your fishing background.
