Gray Triggerfish
If you're looking to tangle with Gray Triggerfish, Charleston, SC, offers some exciting opportunities, especially on the nearshore reefs and wrecks that dot the coastline. These structures, holding a variety of marine life, are prime ambush points for triggerfish. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive, as the water temperatures rise and the fish become more active. For a better chance of success, focus your efforts around slack tide, when the current is minimal, allowing your bait to sink naturally to the bottom. A popular access point is the Charleston City Marina, providing easy access to the harbor and beyond. Remember, triggerfish have strong jaws, so use sturdy tackle and consider using circle hooks to improve your hookup ratio. Also, be mindful of the South Carolina regulations regarding size and bag limits for triggerfish before heading out.
