Grouper
Grouper fishing near Biloxi means heading offshore to deeper waters. While not as abundant as in some other areas of the Gulf, gag and scamp grouper can be found around natural and artificial reefs. Focus on areas with significant structure and strong currents. The best time to target grouper is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring. These fish are ambush predators, so presenting your bait near structure is crucial. Live bait like pinfish or grunts is highly effective, but large jigs can also produce. A local tip: Use a heavy leader to prevent break-offs on the sharp structure where grouper like to hide. Be prepared for a tough fight, as grouper are known for their powerful runs. Several charter services operate out of Biloxi, offering a great option for anglers unfamiliar with the area.
