As our boat approached a submerged wreck, the sonar revealed the unmistakable silhouette of a Mycteroperca Bonaci. The black grouper, a formidable predator of the Serranidae family, hovered near the barnacle-encrusted structure. Its massive form, easily surpassing four feet in length, moved with surprising grace through the water. From the nearshore reefs to the offshore depths, these adaptable giants rule their domain. The fading afternoon light cast long shadows across the deck as we marveled at the diverse habitats this species calls home.

Fishing for Little Tunny in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach offers excellent opportunities for anglers seeking the thrill of catching Euthynnus Alletteratus, commonly known as Little Tunny or False Albacore. These fast-swimming fish can be found in the warm waters off the coast, providing an exciting challenge for both novice and experienced fishermen. The best time to target Little Tunny is during the summer months when they migrate closer to shore. Trolling with small lures or live bait such as pilchards or sardines can be highly effective in attracting these energetic fish.
Targeting White Grunt and African Pompano
In addition to Little Tunny, West Palm Beach waters are home to Haemulon Plumierii (White Grunt) and Alectis Ciliaris (African Pompano). White Grunt can be found near reefs and rocky bottoms, making them accessible for both inshore and offshore fishing. Using shrimp or small pieces of cut bait on a bottom rig can yield great results. African Pompano, known for their distinctive appearance and powerful fights, are often caught around wrecks and artificial reefs. Live bait such as blue runners or goggle eyes are popular choices for targeting these prized game fish.
Pursuing the Elusive Black Grouper
For those seeking a true trophy catch, Mycteroperca Bonaci, or Black Grouper, presents an exciting challenge in West Palm Beach waters. These large, powerful fish inhabit deep reefs and wrecks, typically found in depths of 60 feet or more. Slow-trolling live bait or deep dropping with large jigs can be effective techniques for enticing Black Grouper to bite. Anglers should be prepared for a tough fight, as these fish are known for their strength and tendency to seek shelter in rocky structures. Patience and skill are key when targeting this prized species in the waters off West Palm Beach.
