Overview: about halfmoon triggerfish
Small to medium-sized reef fish with strong fighting ability, found over coral reefs and structure in NSW, QLD, WA, and NT. Targeted with small jigs, soft plastics, and live baits in 10-50m, often requiring light to medium tackle. Can be finicky feeders, but worth the effort for their excellent eating quality.
