The West Palm Beach area is known for its year-round fishing potential.

West Palm Beach fishing conditions vary throughout the year, but the proximity to the Gulf Stream means offshore fishing is accessible even on half-day trips. Water clarity is typically good to excellent, with blue water often found within 3-5 miles of shore. Wind direction plays a crucial role in planning your trip – easterly winds can make offshore runs challenging while westerly winds typically create calmer conditions. The best fishing usually occurs during tide changes, and Captain Rich times trips accordingly whenever possible.
For the most comfortable experience, book morning trips when winds are typically lighter. Wear light, breathable clothing with sun protection, and bring polarized sunglasses to reduce glare. Captain Rich recommends taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness, especially for offshore trips. The boat is equipped with safety gear and fish-finding electronics to maximize your chances of success on the water.
