Fishing in West Palm Beach: Pollock
Pollock (Pollachius pollachius) is a prized gamefish from the cod family Gadidae, order Gadiformes, known for its distinctive underbite and excellent fighting ability. Also called coalfish, this species features a silvery lateral line with striking greenish-black coloration below, making it easily distinguishable from its Atlantic Pollock cousin. In West Palm Beach waters this June, anglers find them around offshore structure where they actively hunt smaller fish.
Pollock Overview
Pollock are robust members of the cod family valued by both sport and commercial fishermen. Their pronounced underbite and straighter pectoral fins distinguish them from related species. These aggressive feeders provide excellent table fare and memorable fights when hooked on bottom fishing gear.
Pollock Habitat and Distribution
These fish inhabit both offshore and nearshore waters, preferring areas with structure like reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms. Around West Palm Beach, they're commonly found in depths ranging from 60 to 200 feet where they patrol for prey. Their distribution extends throughout temperate Atlantic waters.
Pollock Size and Weight
Typical Pollock range from 24 to 42 inches in length, weighing between 20 and 35 pounds. Larger specimens can exceed these averages, with some reaching trophy proportions in deeper offshore waters where food sources are abundant.

Pollock Fishing Techniques
Bottom fishing with cut bait or live offerings works best for Pollock around West Palm Beach. Heavy sinkers help reach their preferred depths, while circle hooks improve hookup rates. In June, Captain Rich positions over known structure where these fish congregate, using fish finders to locate schools before dropping baits.
