Well today was another home run, we hosted a very nice group of people from Ontario and took them bottom fishing. It took a few minutes for them to get the hang of the reels and the timing to set the hook, but then they started swinging for the fences and put quite a few tasty fish in the box ! Can't wait to fish with them again.

When Joe booked the trip, he just wanted to go bottom fishing, so that's just what we did, no trolling just plain drift fishing. It started off a little slow, but then the bite started building and when we stopped we had 18 keepers in the boat and had released another 7 or so. It was pretty good fishing for 3 anglers and I look forward to them returning.

Brian and his boys came back out today, we trolled first getting a screamer of a bonita, and then switched over to bottom drift fishing. By the end of the trip the boys had caught 10 different species including bonita, yellowtail snappers, strawberry groupers, French Grunts, unicorn filefish, Black sea bass, lizardfish, Gray triggerfish, Blue Runners and Flounder. I may have forgotten some but it was like being in a fish market !

West Palm Beach Fishing Charter - Drift Fishing

Brian and his boys came out today, the wind was blowing last night and the ocean was still big so we stayed in the intercoastal canal. We lost a huge Goliath Grouper, he had the big rod doubled over, when the line popped after chafing on the wreck. Lots of small snappers came up, and Conner caught a nice Spanish Mackerel.

It was a little breezy today so we stayed in the intercoastal canal and Marek had a lot of fun. We drifted back shrimp in our chum slick and then went trolling when the tide dropped out. End result Mark caught Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Pinfish, Blue runner, and Grunts.

Dave and his crew came out today and it was a blast !  We started by trolling out of Palm Beach shallow for mackerel, but that did not produce. When we headed out deeper we started trolling Bonita and Mahi. We then worked our way up north and started drifting for bottom fish, and we loaded up with Snappers, Grouper and lots of other tasty fish !

Lexie and Russ joined us today as part of their honeymoon celebration, this was our first trip out since Tropical Storm Nicole stopped by.  The water cleared up at 150 feet, but there was no troll bite. We invested an hour and half into trolling and then I pulled the plug and started drift fishing. The bottom fishing was on fire !! Lexie and Russ were novice anglers but they were pulling fish in two at a time. We had red groupers, mutton snappers, big yellowtail snappers,  mangrove snapper, squirrel fish, French grunts, and sand tilefish. They left the dock with big smiles and a big bag of fillets.

Charley brought his two sons out today and we did some trolling and drift fishing. The troll was good, we got two Mahi and one King Mackerel. When we set up on the drift first the wind died out so we couldn't use a kite, then a storm front organized so I ran in rather than deal with that !

Mahi and King Trolling in Palm Beach

Jessica and Todd are new to saltwater fishing and the wind was blowing from the northeast at a good clip this morning, so I decided to stay in the Intercoastal today. It was a good call and they had a great time catching Spanish Mackerel, Houndfish, and Blue Runners. Nothing huge, but they got their feet wet and had a lot of fun, and some great fish for lunch !

Live shrimp on spinning tackle was the ticket.

Spanish Mackerel in Palm Beach 

I had Tony and his family out today, we did some trolling first and then some drift fishing. We caught three King Mackerel, 2 on the troll, 1 drifting, a bunch of bonitas, and some bottom fish. A lot of fun packed into 4 hours !

So Adam shows up today with his family, lots of fun to be had with a 7 and a 9 year old. We went trolling and then drift fishing and then practiced the obligatory Tuna Wahoo War Faces !!

So my charter shows up and I find out I have 4 children between the ages of 6 and 12 to turn into fisherman ! Ok, we will troll first and then drift fish….and of course we had to work on our war faces !!

Today had all the earmarks of a great trip…cloudy sky, falling pressure, outgoing tide, and hungry fish. The weather front that came ripping through with high winds and rain had other ideas though and we cut the trip short after catching a Bonita and a nice mahi or dolphin fish. 

Today had all the earmarks of a great trip, cloudy sky, falling pressure, outgoing tide and hungry fish. The weather front that came ripping through had other ideas though and we cut the trip short after trolling a Bonita and a nice mahi, also known as a dolphin.

Trolling was the ticket today for Dane and John. Cloudy skies, outgoing tide, and a falling barometer got the fish chewing, we ended up 2 for 2 on Sailfish, one large King Mackerel, and 5 Bonita.

John and Dane joined us today and while trolling we hooked up to a very nice King Mackerel. Unfortunately a large Bull Shark thought it was a very nice King Mackerel too and helped himself to the back end !

<p>Hi, I'm&nbsp;<strong>Captain Rich Adler,</strong>&nbsp;and I have been fishing for over 46 years.</p><p><br></p><p>It has been my whole life. My passion for fishing started when my father first took me out when I was four years old. I couldn’t remember what we caught that time, but I still remember the feeling of curiosity, thrill, and excitement. Since then, I got the salt-water disease.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>. When I turned seven, my father and I caught an 8-pound largemouth bass. As it emerged to the surface, I saw its huge bucket mouth and told my Dad that it was a monster. Many thought that it was just a phase, and they never knew that it would turn out to be my lifelong passion. Well, who can say, I just fell in love with fishing the first time I experienced it.&nbsp;</p><p>I now have my Charter Boat-&nbsp;<strong>Tuna Wahoo</strong>, and I offer a full-service Florida charter fishing operation, taking families, friends, and kids fishing. I do this not just for a living but because I am happy to see them smile and get excited when they catch a fish.</p><p><br></p><p>Operating my Charter Boat is all I do 24/7, every single day. From October to July, I run my charter boat in Palm Beach, Florida. For the rest of the year, I run charter and party boats in Belmar and Point Pleasant, New Jersey. To pass the time, I fish both inshore and offshore, and my favorite catches are fluke, sea bass, bluefish, tuna, and mahi.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Maybe you wonder if I ever get fed up from doing this my whole life. Fishing for 24 hours a day for over 46 years- who’s crazy enough to do that, right? But, let me share with you the things that make me keep going: excitement and passion.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>I wake up every day, board my boat, and sail to the sea, and what fuels me to do that my whole life is that I never know who is going to show up at the dock. I never know what surprises we are going to catch each trip. Every day is a new experience. That’s what makes it so much fun and exciting.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Another thing that keeps me going each day is the kids I board on Tuna Wahoo with me.&nbsp;All of my favorite guide experiences involve young kids. They light up when we start catching fish, the questions don’t end, and I know I am lighting a spark to keep the fishing tradition going. It makes me feel that I have a greater purpose for being a guide and a fisherman, and that purpose is to keep the fire of fishing tradition alive and burning.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>I am excited to meet you. Let's catch some fish! </strong></p><p><br></p>
