Around here it's common to catch Red Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Black Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Hogfish, Cobia, Red Grouper, Permit, and more, depending on conditions. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
