Local Species Insights: White Grunt
The white grunt (Haemulon plumieri) is a common reef fish found throughout Florida's coastal waters, including Riviera Beach. These fish typically inhabit rocky bottoms, reefs, and areas with good structure in depths ranging from 10 to 80 feet. White grunts are opportunistic feeders, primarily targeting small crustaceans, mollusks, and worms, making them susceptible to a variety of baits.
While not the largest gamefish, white grunts provide excellent action for light tackle anglers. They're known for their strong initial runs and determined fights, making them surprisingly sporty for their size. Most specimens average 8-12 inches in length, though they can grow larger in ideal conditions. For the best success when targeting white grunts in Riviera Beach, focus on fishing near natural and artificial reefs using shrimp, squid, or small cut bait with a simple bottom rig.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the designated marina in Riviera Beach about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), weather-appropriate clothing, and non-marking shoes suitable for a boat deck. While all fishing gear is provided, you may want to bring your own food and drinks unless otherwise specified.

Morning trips typically begin early (around 7-8 AM) to take advantage of prime fishing times, while afternoon trips usually depart around 1 PM.
