Inshore, anglers can find tons of these big fish near docks, bridges, in deep holes and on ledges.  Smaller goliath grouper can be found in the estuaries around oyster bars, docks and mangrove-lined shorelines.  Offshore, goliath grouper can be found on the reefs and wrecks in very deep water.  Goliath grouper eat a variety of different baits, but most anglers will target them with jack crevalle, mullet, menhaden and sting rays.
