BOTTOM Fishing for Triggerfish on the Reefs…
There is plenty of species of fish on the reefs out of Daytona, Ponce inlet, Cape Canaveral areas like the Party grounds, East Eleven, Ten Fathoms, 16 Fathoms, 27 Fathoms, Turtle Mound, Half North, Inside Eleven, East Ridge, Mango Hole, Long John, Red Snapper Sink, and Plenty of Artificial reefs that hold some nice fish closer to shore… But I like the natural Reefs better… Especially the deeper ones…
TRIGGER FISH:
TACKLE, RIGS, BAIT & TECHNIQUES
ROD & REEL: Use a light to medium action reel spinning or conventional will work just fine, on a boat I like to use 5 ft rod
BAITS USED FOR TRIGGERFISH: They bite shrimp and any sort of cut bait, I always use a small sliver of squid when fishing for trigger fish.
HOOKS: Small hooks are essential, you want to use small stout sharp hook.
Required to use circle hooks now.
I Normally use a 1/0 or 2/0 stout hook. Some areas require the use of a circle hook.
TRIGGERFISH CHICKEN RIG:
I like to put my hooks on a chicken rig with three hooks and a sinker.
I use a Dropper Loop knot to make my Chicken Rigs
There are a couple of good offshore maps you can but, but my Favorite is map is posted on our clubs forum…
