Fishing for Pelagic Fish
What are Pelagic Fish?
Pelagic fish get their name from the area that they inhabit called the pelagic zone. The pelagic zone is the largest habitat on earth with a volume of 330 million cubic miles. Different species of pelagic fish are found throughout this zone. Numbers and distributions vary regionally and vertically, depending on availability of light, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, and pressure.
In this part of Florida, the Gulf Stream waters are fairly close to shore, so you don’t have to travel way far out to target the pelagic species such as sailfish, marlin, tuna, mahi mahi or wahoo in this area. There are many fishing charters that head out to fish the Gulf Stream waters out of the Boca Raton Inlet.
