Trigger fish
 

Has anyone caught trigger fish yet this year?

Re: Trigger fish
 

I've seen pics of some off the local jetties. And Friday I was drifting wrecks for fluke and saw readings 10ft off the bottom which is typically triggers, but I had bucktails on and not the right setup to try for them. Water is warm enough, so they should be around.

When you say local jetties can you specify north or south jersey? Not asking for a specific spot just want to know a general area as I also want to start targeting them. I mostly fish from shore and I've never tried for them before. I caught one on a PB last year and it was one of the best fish I've ever had so I definitely want to catch more of them.

They are reef fish so you will find them for the most part where you would find Sea Bass or Blackfish.

I was fishing Saturday all over structure and had my gulps coming up with small chunks missing. North jersey. 6" grubs had chunks missing from the main body. Kept saying to myself that it was trigger. Idk. Any other fish do this"

Go to the Barnegat Inlet on Long Beach Island. FHQ's is reporting that within the rocks there are trigger fish and blackfish. If you are lucky, you can get a sheepshead at the "rockpile". Go to LBI and have a great time. Bring plenty of clam and green crabs.
