Local Species Insights: Tripletail

Tripletail are one of the most unique gamefish in Florida waters. They get their name from their distinctive appearance—their dorsal and anal fins extend far back on their body, creating what appears to be three tails when they're swimming. In Marathon's waters, these fish are often found near floating structure, buoys, channel markers, and floating debris. Captain Craig specializes in sight-fishing for tripletail, slowly cruising along looking for these fish as they lazily float near the surface, often mimicking floating debris. When hooked, tripletail put up a surprisingly strong fight for their size, making them an exciting catch for anglers. The waters around Marathon offer some of the best tripletail fishing in Florida, particularly during the warmer months.
