Seasonal Activity Chart
Sailfish
Boca Raton sits within striking distance of some of Florida's prime sailfish waters. These magnificent billfish are a prized catch for many anglers. The winter months, from November to February, are typically the peak season for sailfish as they migrate along the Florida coast. Trolling with live bait, such as goggle eyes or threadfin herring, is a popular method. Look for areas with strong currents and temperature breaks, as these conditions often concentrate baitfish and attract sailfish. Local marinas like the Boca Raton Resort & Club offer charter services with experienced captains who know the best fishing spots. Kite fishing is another effective technique, allowing you to present baits naturally on the surface. Remember to use circle hooks to minimize injury to the fish and ensure a successful release.
