Queen Triggerfish
If you're looking for Queen Triggerfish in Key West, Florida, you'll need to head out to the deeper waters surrounding the Florida Keys. These fish are most commonly found around coral reefs, wrecks, and other submerged structures. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, typically from late spring to early fall, when the water is clear and the fish are actively feeding. Bottom fishing with a sturdy rod and reel is the most effective method. Use heavy tackle and strong hooks, as Queen Triggerfish are powerful fighters and have sharp teeth. Squid, shrimp, and cut bait are all good choices. Local tip: many of the local charter boats offer specialized trips targeting reef fish like Queen Triggerfish, and their expertise can significantly increase your chances of success. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits before you go, and be mindful of the delicate coral reef ecosystem while fishing.
