Well I got my first triggerfish on a hook this time.

I gave up spear-fishing because the water was too murky for my ability. Visibility was about 5'. Though I met 3 spear-fishermen. They fished early in the morning. They killed 2 striper@25", a spadefish @20", some togs and some triggerfish
I used Carolina rig with size 1 (not 1/0) short-shank hook). Locals recommended I use a size 1 long shank hook for both trigger and tog in summer. But my local Dicks didn't have the hooks. The leader was 4' long
I used 1.5 - 2oz slip sinker
I fished triggers in 5-9' of water (Warmer water)
I caught 2 triggerfish @13 and 16" on a half of a frozen shrimp
I caught 1 Tog @20" on the same rig except the bait. I used a small piece of a green crab. The cut green crab was as small as a large peanut - I trimmed off legs and back plate for triggerfish. This was caught in 11' of water
