Fishing Know-How and Gear

When it comes to grouper fishing, we don't mess around. We'll be using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with strong line - these fish don't give up easy! Our go-to technique is bottom fishing, where we'll drop baits or lures right into the grouper's home turf. You might be using live bait like pinfish or cut bait, or maybe even trying your hand at jigging. Don't worry if you're new to this; our guide will show you the ropes and have you reeling in fish before you know it. Just be ready for a workout - these grouper can put up one heck of a fight!

Target Species Lowdown

Gag grouper is the star of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These hefty fish are a favorite among anglers for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. Gags typically hang out near structure like rocky bottoms, ledges, and artificial reefs. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters topping 50 pounds! The best time to target gags is usually from late spring through fall when they move closer to shore. What makes catching them so exciting? It's the sheer power you feel when one takes your bait - it's like trying to pull a refrigerator off the bottom of the ocean. Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of outsmarting these clever fish and bringing one up from the depths.
