Grouper
While Point, Texas, isn't exactly known for grouper due to its inland location, targeting these fish requires a trip to the coast. The best bet is heading south towards the Gulf of Mexico. Focus your efforts around jetties, reefs, and oil rigs. Grouper fishing in this region is best during the cooler months, particularly spring and fall, when water temperatures are more moderate. Keep a close eye on seasonal forage movements, as grouper will congregate where their food sources are abundant. Natural presentations, such as live bait or cut bait, tend to be the most effective. Be sure to adjust your depth based on temperature and current conditions. Remember that grouper like structure, so focus on areas with plenty of cover. Also, be aware of Texas size and bag limits for grouper species, as these can vary. A good starting point is the boat ramp at Galveston, offering easy access to offshore hotspots.
