Goliath Grouper
Venice, Louisiana, offers some of the most accessible and productive Goliath Grouper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The maze of offshore oil rigs, platforms, and wrecks in the fertile waters provide ideal habitat for these behemoths. Peak season is typically from late spring through early fall, when the water is warm and baitfish are abundant. Success hinges on using heavy tackle and substantial live or dead baits. Anglers often use whole jacks, mullet, or even small sharks. Be prepared for a grueling fight, as these fish are incredibly powerful. Many captains use electric reels to assist in pulling these fish from the depths. Remember, Goliath Grouper are a protected species, and all fishing is catch-and-release only. A crucial local tip: pay close attention to depth finders and target areas where the structure meets the seafloor, as this is where the biggest grouper often reside. Also, be aware of rig regulations and stay a safe distance.
