Gray Triggerfish
Hatteras, NC, is a prime jumping-off point for targeting Gray Triggerfish in the Atlantic. These fish are often found around offshore wrecks and reefs, readily accessible by charter boat. The Gulf Stream's influence keeps the waters relatively warm, extending the triggerfish season. While you can catch them year-round, the warmer months (late spring through fall) are typically the most productive. One local tip is to pay attention to water clarity. Triggerfish are visual predators, and clearer water often leads to better fishing. The Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is a great place to find experienced captains who know the local honey holes. Triggerfish around Hatteras are known for their aggressive bites, but also their wary nature. Don't be afraid to experiment with different bait presentations to find what they're keying in on. Chumming can also be effective in drawing them out from their hiding places.
