Tripletail are a great-eating fish that is typically found around some type of floating object in open water. Many anglers will fish below buoys or some type of floating trash. Tripletail can be found very close to the objects and they can be caught somewhat easily if you can approach them slowly without scaring them off.

Tripletail are not as common on the Atlantic side of Florida, however, some anglers do target them. Spring and fall are the usually the best times as they migrate north in the spring and back south in the fall. Anglers use the Port Canaveral port to access the reefs and wrecks in the nearshore and offshore waters.
