Gray Triggerfish
Key West offers excellent opportunities to target Gray Triggerfish, particularly around the numerous reefs and wrecks that dot the surrounding waters. These fish are known for their delicious flavor and stubborn fight, making them a popular target for anglers. The prime time to fish for them is during the warmer months, generally from spring through fall. Bottom fishing with live shrimp, crabs, or cut bait is the most effective method. Focus your efforts on areas with structure, like ledges and wrecks. A local's secret? Try using a small jig tipped with bait to entice finicky triggerfish. Numerous charter boats operate out of Key West, providing access to productive fishing grounds. Be sure to check the latest regulations regarding size limits and bag limits, as these can be subject to change. Remember to bring your sunscreen and a hat, as the sun can be intense!
