My View of Life on the Dock
We don’t see these too often. About once or twice a year. Dave Jewell caught one a year or two ago and we got some video for you below.
This picture was taken by FOB Joey Ciolino when Joey and Frank Ciolino paid a visit to the dock yesterday afternoon.
Here is the post from August 9,2009 with the Triggerfish that Aaron on the Lady Margaret caught. Obviously it’s the warmer waters that bring these unusual fish up off our coast.
Day before yesterday Aaron on The Lady Margaret brought in this Triggerfish. In my 33 years down the dock and after handling a bajillion pounds of fish at our dock I’ve only seen a couple of these. The wikipedia page on Triggerfish is pretty interesting. It says they are normally found in warm coastal waters of the Atlantic, Mediterranean and the Indo-Pacific. This one must have followed it’s way up the jet Gulf stream.

Video at 8AM Thursday where you can see just what happens to this particular fish.
