    (4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing)

    Great trip!

    Second time out with Capt. Doug. Had two friends with us this year. One had never been out before. Capt. Doug was awesome. Put her at ease and we all had a great time and everyone caught fish. I highly recommend this charter.

    (12 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing)

    First Time Off Shore Fishing

    TJ and Beau were fantastic. We were on the fish as soon as we hit bottom. Unfortunately the weather turned nasty so we had to make the call to end our 12hr trip early, but we still hauled in over 40 great sized fish. The freezer is full! We will be back for the Gulf Stream in the Spring!! :-)

    Great experience

    Chris, our captain had many years experience on the water and seemed to have a sense of where the Snapper were. Had a nice time.

Average

Gray Triggerfish fishing is all about action on light tackle and great eating at the end of the day. Gray Triggerfish are compact, powerful Reef fish with strong teeth and a quirky look. They hang tight to structure and peck at baits with skill. That makes them famous bait stealers and a fun challenge for anglers who enjoy finesse.

You will usually target them while reef fishing or bottom fishing around rocks, reefs, and wrecks. Captains often set up drifts or anchor over structure. Small, sharp hooks make a big difference because Triggerfish have tough mouths. Natural baits like squid, shrimp, cut bait, or sand fleas work well. Small jigs also produce when kept near the bottom. Use sensitive rods, light leaders, and quick hooksets to beat their nibble-and-run bite.

Expect steady bites, short but spirited fights, and lots of laughs when the bait thieves get outsmarted. Most trips suit first-time anglers, kids, and food-focused crews. More experienced anglers enjoy dialing in precise presentations. Bring sun protection, non-slip shoes, and a camera. Pack snacks and water. If you get seasick, consider medication. Your crew will usually provide tackle and help with safe handling and, where allowed, filleting.

Regulations can change by area. Before your trip, check local fishing license and permit rules. Confirm the open season, harvest limits, and any size requirements. When in doubt, ask your captain for the latest guidance.
