Grouper

    With more than 400 species of
    grouper in the world, they are
    typically found in similar areas and
    caught with the same  
    techniques.  The different

species of grouper usually vary little from species to species making it
tough to identify them.  They can be found along the bottom in deep
water.  Grouper feed off the bottom.  

Catching Grouper

Some grouper can be caught inshore; however, most of these fish are
caught in offshore waters.  Heavy line and tackle is required because
light line will easily cut around the sharp bottom where these fish are
found.  A bottom rig fished with live bait is usually all you need to catch
grouper.  Some anglers use cut bait and that also works.  Leadhead jigs
in the 1 to 3 ounce range with plastic tails and bucktail skirts will entice
many strikes.  When you set the hook on a grouper, you have to get
them off the bottom as quick as you can to avoid the sharp bottom that
can cut your line.  Grouper are delicious; a favorite of many fishermen.
