Sailfish
If you're targeting Sailfish out of Atlantic Beach, understanding seasonal bait migrations is key. These magnificent billfish follow schools of baitfish like mullet and menhaden. Winter is prime time, as cooler temperatures concentrate the bait closer to shore. Live bait trolling is highly effective, especially around inlets and nearshore reefs. Focus on areas with strong currents, as Sailfish are ambush predators. A helpful local tactic: kite fishing can be deadly when conditions allow, presenting a live bait enticingly on the surface. Be aware that the Sailfish population here is carefully managed, so ensure you're up-to-date on all regulations regarding size and catch limits. Several marinas offer charter services with experienced captains who know these waters intimately, a great option for newcomers.
