Just about everyone loves catching – and eating – grouper. But for most folks, grouper fishing means bait fishing. Those looking for a more hands-on approach with artificials, however, will probably get a charge out of jigging for grouper.
Grouper will utterly slam a spoon jigged just off the bottom, and jigging allows you to use much less weight as opposed to dropping down a “meat curtain” rig with a lead weight. Net result? You can fish for them with gear that’s far more appropriately sized to the fish. Ready to give it a shot? Here are three tips that will help you jig up more grouper.
BONUS TIP: The moment you get a grouper on the line, push it to the envelope to get the fish five or 10 feet of the bottom. Otherwise, the fish will try to dart to structure for cover and often will chaff or tangle the line.
