Graysby
Destin, Florida, offers some excellent opportunities to target Graysby, a smaller but equally appealing member of the grouper family. These fish are commonly found on the nearshore artificial reefs and natural hard-bottom areas. While Graysby can be caught year-round, the spring and fall months often provide the most comfortable fishing conditions. When targeting Graysby, focus your efforts on areas with plenty of structure, such as ledges, rocks, and wrecks. A simple bottom rig with a small piece of squid or shrimp is often all it takes to entice a bite. The Destin Harbor Boardwalk provides convenient access to charter boats and party boats that regularly fish these reefs. Keep in mind that Graysby are relatively small, so using lighter tackle can enhance the experience. Also, be sure to check the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulations for any size and bag limits for Graysby and other grouper species.
