Triggerfish help

[Zeal]

Hey Ladies and Gents!

I've been searching around these forums, other forums, web sites, etc. on how to go about catching this species which belongs to the tropics yet with the alarmingly warmer water each year happens to show up at Long Island, Rhode Island, Cape Cod, etc. doorstep.

All the information I can find is bait, rigs, and that they are daytime feeders.

The problem is, all the information are from boaters.

Anybody catch these from the shore? What setup do you use? Do you go from the rocks or back bays, etc. to find them?

I've heard only by rumor and hearsay that people catch triggerfish from the shore (the only piece of information I got out of the guy is that he catches them on clams) but don't share on how to. Summer usually is dead to me when it comes to fish by surf (Yes I said it) so this seems to be something worth doing.

Much obliged!
