Grouper
Grouper fishing out of Pascagoula requires a commitment to venturing offshore, but the potential rewards are substantial. Deep-water reefs and wrecks in the Gulf hold populations of several Grouper species. Keep in mind that regulations are stringent and seasons are often limited, so check the latest rules before planning your trip. Prime time is typically during the warmer months, but weather conditions play a crucial role in offshore access. Use heavy tackle and techniques like bottom fishing with live or dead bait, or jigging with large lures. A local tip: GPS coordinates for known wrecks and reefs are invaluable, but be sure to verify their accuracy. Also, be prepared for a tough fight; Grouper are notorious for running back into their holes. The key is to apply steady pressure and prevent them from reaching cover. A successful Grouper trip from Pascagoula is a true angling accomplishment!
