Grouper
Grouper fishing out of Long Beach, Mississippi requires a bit of a journey offshore, but the rewards can be significant. Gag and scamp grouper are the primary targets, and they tend to congregate around deepwater reefs and wrecks. Bottom fishing with live or cut bait is the most common method. Strong currents are often a factor, so be prepared to use heavy weights to keep your bait on the bottom. The best time to target grouper is during the cooler months, when they move closer to shore. Before heading out, make sure you have the necessary permits and are familiar with the size and bag limits. A good starting point is to consult local fishing reports and talk to tackle shop owners in Long Beach to get up-to-date information on productive spots and current conditions.
