Orange and white striped clownfish swimming near coral reef in clear blue water Florida City FL

Doctorfish are fascinating reef inhabitants found in Florida's coastal waters. Their name comes from the sharp, scalpel-like spine near their tail that resembles a surgeon's tool. - They're primarily herbivores, feeding on algae. - They play an important role in reef health by controlling algae growth.

Local Species Insights: Doctorfish

While our primary target was gamefish, we spotted some beautiful Doctorfish during our Florida City adventure. These distinctive reef inhabitants are part of the surgeonfish family, recognizable by their oval shape and the sharp, scalpel-like spine near their tail (hence the name "Doctorfish"). When fishing Florida City waters, you'll often find these colorful fish around reef structures and areas with plenty of algae growth, which makes up the bulk of their diet. Though not typically targeted by anglers, spotting Doctorfish is always a highlight when fishing clear Florida waters, as they indicate healthy reef ecosystems. During fall trips like ours, these fish are particularly active in the warmer parts of the day.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your day with Ray Charters, plan to arrive ready for a 4-hour adventure on the water. The boat is well-equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suited for backcountry fishing. Morning departures often provide the best fishing conditions in Florida City waters, with calm seas and active fish. Wear light, comfortable clothing with sun protection, and don't forget sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat. The charter is designed to be comfortable even for those new to fishing, with opportunities to learn proper techniques from Instructor Ray. Weather conditions are monitored closely for safety, and trips may be rescheduled if conditions aren't favorable for a quality fishing experience.
