Trip Summary

Cold temps but awesome fishing! Fishing over natural coral bottom, a variety of techniques brought some nice fish in the boat. 2 big Gag Grouper, lots of Red Snapper and Triggerfish, Red Porgy, Whitebone Porgy, and 2 huge Mangrove Snapper (aka Black Snapper). We also had 7ft shark caught on a slow pitch jig! She was unhooked and released to harass us another day!

Lots of Sheepshead and a couple felt like 20lb+ Black Drum. This fishing is only going to improve throughout winter and early spring.

Destin, FL January 14, 2022 With calmer water conditions, we were able to run further to a proven grouper spot. Using slow-pitch jigging and live bait, we managed to catch fish all day. Since Triggerfish and Red Snapper are not open we focused our efforts on catching Scamp Grouper. These fish are tricky to hook and are experts at stealing live bait. We had to use very light tackle which was very fun and sporty! Several break-offs from sharks, lots of nice snapper, and a ton of smaller triggerfish too.
