Triggerfish Fishing in the Tampa Bay Area
Triggerfish are common in the offshore waters out of Tampa Bay. Most of the offshore fishing charters will head 10 to 20 miles offshore and further to target the bottom structures for a variety of fish. Anglers usually catch triggerfish while fishing the reefs and wrecks out in deeper water. The charter boats that target snapper and grouper will usually run into some triggerfish too.
Triggerfish Fishing Tips
Triggerfish are notorious bait stealers and often frustrate anglers that are fishing for snapper and grouper. Triggerfish have a hard, bony mouth, so you need to make sure you’re using a small, but very strong, sharp hook.
