Triggerfish fishing in key west
Triggerfish are known for their distinctively tough skin and strong teeth, presenting a unique challenge to anglers. These fish are often targeted not only for their spirited fight but also for their excellent culinary qualities, making them a popular catch offshore.
technique we use
Dead bait is effective for catching Triggerfish, as it allows for targeted placement near reefs and wrecks where these fish are commonly found. Using dead bait like chunks of Bonita can attract Triggerfish by emitting strong scents and oils into the water, appealing to their keen sense of smell.
Recommended charter
A half day offshore charter is sufficient for targeting Triggerfish, providing enough time to reach productive fishing grounds without requiring a full day commitment. This charter type is ideal for those looking to experience offshore fishing with a focus on a specific species like the Triggerfish.
Bait utilized
Bonita, when used as dead bait, is particularly effective for Triggerfish due to its oily texture and strong aroma, which are ideal for attracting these bottom dwellers. The robust nature of Bonita also ensures it can withstand the pecking and nibbling habits of Triggerfish, making it a durable choice.
Peak season
Triggerfish can be targeted year-round, as they do not have a strict seasonal migration pattern. This constant availability makes them a reliable species for anglers looking to engage in offshore fishing at any time of the year.
Table fair
Triggerfish is highly regarded for its excellent table fare, characterized by its firm, white flesh that is both flavorful and versatile. Its meat is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, widely celebrated in culinary circles for its taste and texture, perfect for grilling, frying, or baking.
