Local Species Insights: Little Tunny
Little Tunny thrive in the warm Gulf waters off Fort Walton Beach, where they feed aggressively on small baitfish, squid, and crustaceans. These members of the tuna family prefer water temperatures above 70 degrees and are most active during moving tides when baitfish are pushed along current breaks and structure. Captain Philip targets them around nearshore reefs, artificial structures, and areas where depth changes create upwelling that concentrates prey species. Their aggressive feeding behavior makes them excellent targets for both live bait presentations and fast-moving artificial lures.
