Queen Triggerfish
Islamorada, the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World," offers excellent opportunities to target Queen Triggerfish. These colorful fish are often found around the numerous reefs and wrecks that dot the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. While they can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through summer, are typically the most productive. Look for them in depths of 60 to 150 feet. A key to success is using fresh or frozen shrimp on a jig head or small circle hook. Be prepared for a fight – Queen Triggerfish are surprisingly strong for their size! For access, consider chartering a boat from one of Islamorada's many reputable marinas, or try fishing from the bridges spanning the channels between the islands, although you'll need to target deeper areas near the pilings. Remember to check the sanctuary regulations regarding fishing in specific zones.
