Fishing in West Palm Beach: Rainbow Runner
The Rainbow Runner (Elagatis bipinnulata) is a spectacular member of the Carangidae family and order Perciformes, renowned for its brilliant coloration and incredible speed. This torpedo-shaped jack displays seven distinct colors when sunlight strikes its body, creating one of the most beautiful sights in offshore fishing. In West Palm Beach waters this July, these pelagic predators patrol the continental shelf and current breaks where baitfish concentrate.
Rainbow Runner Overview
Rainbow Runners are fast-swimming jacks that inhabit offshore and coastal waters throughout tropical and subtropical regions. Anglers prize them for their spectacular appearance, impressive fighting ability, and excellent table fare. Their streamlined body design makes them incredibly efficient swimmers, capable of sustained high-speed pursuits of prey fish.
Rainbow Runner Habitat and Distribution
These fish prefer offshore, coastal waters where they can access both open ocean hunting grounds and nearshore structure. Around West Palm Beach, Rainbow Runners frequent areas where the Gulf Stream creates upwelling and concentrates baitfish. They're commonly found around wrecks, reefs, and current edges where smaller fish gather.
Rainbow Runner Size and Weight
Rainbow Runners typically reach lengths between 42 and 47 inches, with weights ranging from 15 to 37 pounds. Larger specimens represent trophy catches and provide exceptional sport on appropriate tackle. Their size makes them ideal targets for both light tackle enthusiasts and anglers seeking substantial gamefish.
Rainbow Runner Diet and Behavior
These aggressive predators feed primarily on small fish, squid, and crustaceans. They hunt in schools, using their speed to overwhelm baitfish concentrations. Rainbow Runners are most active during dawn and dusk periods, though they can be caught throughout the day when conditions are favorable.
Rainbow Runner Spawning Season
Rainbow Runners spawn in offshore waters during warmer months, with peak activity occurring when water temperatures reach optimal levels. Their spawning behavior brings them into areas accessible to charter boats, making summer an excellent time for targeting these colorful jacks.
Rainbow Runner Fishing Techniques
Trolling with small lures, live bait fishing, and jigging around structure are the most effective methods for Rainbow Runners. They respond well to fast-moving presentations that mimic fleeing baitfish. In July around West Palm Beach, anglers find success trolling the edge of the Gulf Stream and working live bait around offshore structure.
