Took my brother out to the 300+ ft natural bottom area which is on the drop off somewhat south of the yellow gravel area. Dropped baits on deep drop rigs (squid and cut mullet, pin fish). Caught a couple huge B-liners, a nice AJ and numerous white snapper, but never got on to a grouper which I was hoping to catch. I had anticipated the Grouper would be thick out there but not on that day. Had a great day and brought back some nice smaller fish and caught some snappers on the way home. But.....just gotta ask those of you fishing the deeper stuff what I need to do different to target a grouper or two. Is there a target depth for scamp versus other groupers, etc....I would like to get a better feel on how to prepare for my next trip out there as it’s a pretty good haul out that far!! Any sage advice would be most appreciated! I hunted around the area and found the blue fuzz on the fish finder indicating fish, but apparently mostly the smaller stuff?????
Advice really appreciated!
