“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout. He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did. A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

Queen Triggerfish
The queen triggerfish is a stunning and unique fish found in the warm, tropical waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. Known for its vibrant colors and distinctive body shape, the queen triggerfish is a sought-after catch for anglers fishing in areas like Destin, Key West, and Islamorada, Florida, as well as the waters off Charleston, South Carolina, and Hatteras, North Carolina. While not typically targeted for its size, its striking appearance and challenging nature make it a memorable addition to any angler's saltwater experience.
Queen Triggerfish Fishing in Hatteras
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.
