The offshore bite has been buzzing this week off Lantana, Florida, and anglers aboard the Lady K drift boat enjoyed steady action on kingfish, blackfin tuna, and even a vibrant red grouper that was safely released. If you’re searching for top‑tier charter fishing or reliable drift fishing in Palm Beach County, this week’s report shows exactly why Bar Jack Fishing continues to be a favorite for locals and visitors alike.
All trips depart from Sportsman’s Park Marina, home of Bar Jack Fish Tales, our bait and tackle shop where anglers gear up before heading offshore.
Blackfin Tuna & a Responsible Red Grouper Release
One of the standout moments this week came when two anglers landed a hard‑fighting blackfin tuna alongside a bright red grouper. The grouper was photographed and then released, following South Florida’s responsible fishing regulations.
Blackfin tuna have been feeding aggressively along the deeper edges, making them a prime target for anglers looking for fast runs and powerful fights. The red grouper release highlights Bar Jack Fishing’s commitment to sustainable charter fishing practices.
Kingfish & Blackfin Tuna on a Strong Drift
The kingfish bite has been hot between Lantana and Boynton Beach, especially during morning drifts. Several anglers brought in long, silver king mackerel paired with thick blackfin tuna, a classic combination for summer drift fishing in Palm Beach County.
Live bait and jigs have been producing consistent strikes, especially when the Lady K lines up on the right current.
Dockside Lineup at Sportsman’s Park Marina
A group of anglers returned to Sportsman’s Park Marina with an impressive mix of kingfish and blackfin tuna after a productive morning offshore. The dockside lineup is a signature moment for Bar Jack Fishing, celebrating a successful trip right where the Lady K launches daily.
After the trip, many anglers stop into Bar Jack Fish Tales to grab ice, tackle, or simply share stories from the day.
Five Anglers, Five Big Kingfish
Some days, the kingfish bite is so strong that everyone on board gets in on the action. One highlight from this week shows five anglers lined up on the deck, each holding a large kingfish.
Multiple hookups are common when drift fishing aboard the Lady K, especially when the current pushes across the reefs just right.
Nearshore Blackfin Tuna Close to the Lantana Shoreline
Nearshore waters off Lantana and Lake Worth have been holding smaller pelagic species, including blackfin tuna. One angler landed a shiny blue‑green tuna close to the beach, proving that you don’t always need to head far offshore for exciting action.
These fish are fast, aggressive, and perfect for light‑tackle anglers looking for a fun fight.

Warm water temperatures, steady currents, and abundant bait have created ideal conditions for both charter fishing and drift fishing. Kingfish have been cruising the edges, blackfin tuna have been feeding deeper, and reef species like red grouper have been holding tight to structure.
