Graysby
Islamorada, the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World," offers anglers a fantastic chance to target Graysby amongst its vibrant marine ecosystems. These smaller members of the grouper family are plentiful around the numerous patch reefs and artificial structures that dot the inshore and nearshore waters. While Graysby aren't the biggest fish in the sea, they make up for it with their aggressive feeding habits and accessibility, perfect for a light tackle adventure. Islamorada's location provides easy access to both the Atlantic and the Gulf, offering varied habitats for these fish. Graysby fishing is generally productive year-round, but the warmer months are often more consistent. Target them around coral heads, ledges, and wrecks in relatively shallow water (10-40 feet). Live shrimp or small jigs worked close to the bottom are highly effective. A pro tip for Islamorada: try fishing the edges of the Gulf-side patch reefs during outgoing tides, as this often concentrates baitfish and, consequently, Graysby. Always consult the latest FWC regulations regarding size and bag limits for grouper species.
