Long awaited updates.. though its some of our older pictures plus Mr goldfish with our recent shark-ray encounter. With updates on fishing for grouper..

The most classic bottom fish for most anglers is the grouper. Whether red, gag, black, yellowfin, or Warsaw.

How do They Feed?
Grouper will chase a bait occasionally, but by far they prefer to ambush their prey.
Their coloration and ability to change hues and shades to identify with their surroundings gives them that ambush capability. It is this ambush ability that makes them relatively easy to hook, but difficult to land. Anglers find that medium heavy bottom fishing tackle is the best way to approach the grouper. Conventional reels in the thirty to fifty pound class teamed with a medium heavy boat rod will do the trick. Grouper feed on other small fish, crustaceans like crabs or crawfish, and squid. They tend to sit back in their cover just under a ledge or backed into a hole in a reef and wait. When an easy opportunity swims buy they rush out, inhale their prey, and quickly return to their lair. Nxt-How to approach Grouper
