Common to the tropical north, Queenfish are members of the trevally family and school and attack just as much as their blunt-shaped cousins. These streamlined and fast species are known for their aerial feats out of water once hooked.
Good idea to troll lures or large sized or whole baits. Fishing in the incoming tides may prove successful. Since these fish are fast, using a fast retrieval method especially when using metal lures can be effective.
