Grey triggers are mighty fine eating. Better than red snapper in my opinion. They are regulating us to death down here unfortunately.
We don't have a good inshore/nearshore TT fishery around here. We get them offshore though .
Ah,I see.I know they can get huge but the tripltail has been one of my bucket list fish to keep for quite some time.....How about lionfish,have they reached your area?
pretty sure the Lionfish is all over the Gulf and Atlantic.....I have a friend who does wild-capture in the tri-state area's coastal waterways for aquarium trade and Zoological parks and he catches Lionfish in their nets all the way up in Long Island, NY
Damn,didn't think they could tolerate the cold temperatures this far up.I heard that they are quite tasty.
ya, I hear the same......he only catches them in the summer.
I remember coming across a pretty big lionfish carcass while walking along the beach in the Bahamas a few years ago.
I remember seeing a program where they were trying to train Grouper to eat Lionfish by hand-feeding them freshly killed Lionfish and a large portion of them were all for it. IDK about the venomous spines and how they affect the Groupers, but I imagine they picked Groupers for a certain reason, likely immunity to it or something along those lines
