What can I expect if I catch one?
Catching a Triggerfish (Gray Triggerfish) is fun, challenging, and a great test of your fishing skills! They may not be the biggest fish, but they are incredibly strong for their size, have powerful jaws, and are notoriously sneaky when stealing bait.
Can you eat them?
Triggerfish have a mild, sweet, firm white meat – Similar to lobster or crab. The best cooking methods are grilled, blackened, fried, or baked. Triggerfish fillets are small but highly prized for their delicious flavor!
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Triggerfish are an offshore reef species, meaning you’ll need to travel at least 10-30+ miles into the Gulf of Mexico to find them. They prefer deep, hard-bottom areas, artificial reefs, and wrecks where they school in large numbers.
