Local Species Insights: Spanish Hogfish
The Spanish hogfish is a colorful reef dweller that can be found in the shallow flats around Florida City. These vibrant fish feature striking blue and yellow patterns and are known for their curious nature. While not typically a primary target for anglers, spotting them during a flats trip is always a highlight, especially in the evening hours when their colors seem to intensify.
To successfully target hogfish in these waters, we employ techniques that account for their habitat preferences around shallow structures. The fall months offer some of the best opportunities to spot these fish as they become more active in the cooling water temperatures. Their presence is a great indicator of healthy flats habitat and adds to the diversity of species you might encounter during your trip.
