Kim (6/24/2009)Using J hooks for reef fish is a definate no-no. Ned regulations specify only circle hooks may be used fishing for reef fish. Sounds like it's time to break out the 2009 rules and regulation book, they are free at your local tackle shops.

You can use J-hooks for reef fish, they are not illegal. Read the rules carefully. Hope you have your free copy to read up on.

Now the Grouper thing. Deep water , large baits , and patience will all help with Grouper. The before mentioned seminar will be a good one. Don't always believe what you read and hear. Don't be afraid to try new or different techinques or baits. Different strokes for different folks.

We use 80-150 mainline, mono and braid

Leader 80-200 lb. mono.

Weight 12-20 oz.

Hook Mustad circle 12-16/0
