2025 Grouper Season Open
2025 Grouper Season Open
May 17, 2025
Florida Grouper Fishing Grouper are stout predators that prefer to lie and wait rather than chase their prey. These fish are also opportunistic scavengers that wont pass up an easy meal. The large mouth and powerful gills of a grouper create avacuum that sucks prey into their mouth in the blink of an eye. Bottom fishing and in some cases deep dropping are the most effective methods to catch grouper. While artificial lures and baits can work, natural baits are particularly more effective for these fish. With most grouper inhabiting various structures, their most common food sources are crustaceans, fish, and occasionally squid. We Catch Grouper in Florida Holding ALL Federal Credentials & FULLY Permitted including REEF Location & Pelagic Species's The rich Gulf of Mexico waters that sweep over the Florida Coastline contain ideal habitat for a long list of grouper species. The best places to catch grouper will depend on the particular species. Here are the most common environments that hold grouper. The first and most shallow environment is inshore. Some species of grouper like gag grouper will inhabit shallow waters not far from shore. Key areas are grass beds, holes, and ledges which provide these fish with shelter or a place to ambush prey. Second, nearshore reefs possibly hold the greatest abundance of grouper. Water depths from 50 to 300 feet are ideal for a variety of grouper species. Any structure including rock piles, reefs, wrecks, and ledges at moderate depths will hold the majority prey in an area. With grouper being a hide and wait predator, this is where they live. The final place to find grouper is far offshore at extreme depths. At depths over 300 feet deep dropping equipment may be necessary. Offshore drop off and canyons hold the deep dwelling yellowedge grouper and tilefish. We Deliver the Results Exceed Expectations!

Between me and my friend we probably caught like 20 fish at least. The boat had to throw some back because we had so many.

Just listen to the captain. If you need help just ask him or his crew mate's. Also the crew members super awesome. They will help put bait on the hooks a take off the fish when you bring them in. 1 tip โ€œNeverโ€ pull the fishing rod up just reel so you donโ€™t lose your fish. And if you catch a big fish keep on reeling make sure that the tip of the rod is up. So the fish donโ€™t go into the rocks. Thatโ€™s all I have but I will definitely go again soon.

Sunscreen, cold drinks, Dramamine, snacks, sunglasses/hat. Definitely dress for the weather! I feel this trip is doable with kids, but for 8 hours, my girls would have not done well on a boat that long. They are 11 and 8. Therefore, they stayed back with my mom and they had a day visiting the Aquarium :)

Bring your own equipment if you can, when you only have 2-3hrs to fish you donโ€™t want to lose any time learning the feel of their rigs. I missed lots of strikes in the first 45min or so.

Be prepared for weather change. Take warm clothing, and plenty of sun screen. Listen closely to the captain and 1st mate as they give instruction. Concentrate on what you're doing and you should catch fish.
