Local Species Insights: Blackfin Tuna
Blackfin tuna thrive in the warm Gulf Stream waters off West Palm Beach, where they hunt in schools along temperature breaks and structure. These fast-swimming predators prefer water temperatures between 70-80°F and are most active during dawn and dusk feeding periods. Captain Jeff uses a combination of trolling with small lures and live bait fishing to target them effectively. The key is finding the right depth and current where baitfish concentrate, as blackfin tuna are opportunistic feeders that follow the food chain. Their aggressive nature and willingness to bite makes them an ideal target species for anglers seeking consistent action on offshore charters.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your blackfin tuna fishing adventure begins with an early morning departure from West Palm Beach marina. Captain Jeff provides all necessary equipment including rods, reels, tackle, and bait, so you only need to bring sunscreen, snacks, and drinks. The boat is equipped with GPS, fish finder, and safety equipment for a comfortable and secure offshore experience. We typically fish 10-20 miles offshore where blackfin tuna are most abundant, adjusting our strategy based on current conditions and fish activity.
