Gag Grouper
Chasing Gag Grouper near Destin means understanding the seasonal shifts in their behavior. Building on existing knowledge of forage and water conditions, key in on the plentiful baitfish that congregate around the artificial reefs and natural hard bottom areas offshore. Spring and fall are particularly productive as the water temperatures are moderate, and the grouper are actively feeding. Natural presentations, like live pinfish or grunts, are always a good bet, but don't overlook slow-pitch jigging. With Destin's typically clear waters, lighter fluorocarbon leaders can make a difference. A practical tip: the Destin Jetties can be a surprisingly productive spot, especially during slack tide. Be prepared for some heavy lifting, and always check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out. Remember to adjust your depth based on temperature breaks and current, as these factors significantly influence Gag Grouper location.
