Queen Triggerfish
Targeting Queen Triggerfish in Destin, Florida, requires venturing offshore. These colorful fish are typically found around reefs, wrecks, and other structures in the Gulf of Mexico. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the best time to fish for them, as the water temperatures are more comfortable and the fish are more active. Bottom fishing with squid, shrimp, or cut bait is a common technique. A sturdy rod and reel are necessary, as Queen Triggerfish can put up a good fight. They also have strong jaws, so using circle hooks and heavier leader is recommended. Many local charter boats specialize in reef fishing and can provide the necessary equipment and expertise. Be sure to check the current fishing regulations, as there are often size and bag limits in place to protect the population. Queen Triggerfish are known for their delicious, firm white meat, making them a rewarding catch.
