I have herd many people say they have caught Yellow Edge Grouper off the N. Fl coast.

Is this the same as the Yellow Fin Grouper you see down in the Bahamas and Keys? Are people calling Scamps Yellow Edge Grouper here?



Thanks for any help.

Not the same. The Yellow Edge's colorings (body)looks like the Snowy to me, but has yellow fin edges. Here's a good pic.

Great response/picture lastcast.

Check out the 3 grouper in the attached picture and you will seefrom closest to the "framing square" out to the right side of the photo in the following order you will see a:

1. Scamp

2. Yellowedge -you can begin to make out the white spots on him likea snowy

3. Gag

Personally, I think the yellowedge tastes best of all.

I don't think they are at least not that i have heard we have yellowedge grouper, the scamp here look just like another grouper we have here also which is a yellow mouth grouper that resembles a scamp almost to the "T" that you might have heard.

We have a hole in 350' that has these. I always called them yellowedges, since they looked more like scamps. The ones we call yellowmouths are normally deeper in 550'+ and are mixed with snowies. The pomps came from 170'.



I snapped some good pictures this past summer, because we were questioning ourselves.

ET, I think the third grouper down on the first pic is the only Yellowmouth. It doesn't have the long tips on the tail like the Scamps.

I think they are all yellowedge. They all came from the same hole. Our snowies and yellowmouth are a lighter greyish color. I think that one had just been playing in the mud or something. Maybe male v. female. I don't know?

From what I remember the Yellowmouth and scamp has pretty close if not exact colorings, shape, etc.One, at least the one I know of is the very tips of the tail. On the scamp they are a bit longer and tapered. On the YM they end in a more abrupt point and not as tapered or long. I did NOTsleep at a Holiday Inn last night though! Anybody else have an input?
