Queen Triggerfish
Hatteras, North Carolina, provides a unique opportunity to encounter Queen Triggerfish in the Atlantic. While not a primary target for most anglers here, they are often caught as bycatch while bottom fishing for other species around offshore wrecks and reefs. The Gulf Stream's influence brings warmer waters closer to shore, making the summer months (June-August) the prime time to find them. Depths of 90-150 feet are typical. Using squid or cut bait on a bottom rig is a common approach. A local tip: heavier tackle is recommended due to the potential for larger fish and strong currents in the area. Charter boats are readily available in Hatteras and offer the best access to these offshore fishing grounds. Be aware of the strong currents that can impact your fishing.
