Tripletail

Was fishing down river two weekends ago and found the motherlode of tripletail. We saw probably 30 or 40 on crab trap buoys but they were all undersized - maybe only one keeper that got off the line of course. I know they are usually heading out of south Louisiana this time of year so wondering if the big ones head out earlier than the small ones? Or did we just miss the keepers?

They are the American Pronghorn of saltwater. Delicious, fun to hunt, pain in the arse, quirky as hell!

I am by no means an expert and have only fished for them a few times, but I wonder how “cyclical” their populations are? Either the past few dry/low river years drastically increased their numbers, or the high salinity inland just presented more targets close to shore.
Either way, I was seeing tons of posts online about them this summer and last, which I hadn’t seen in about 10-15 years.

My buddy who guides in big lake was on their arse all of August and September. Big keepers.
