There are many different species of Grouper and many different Grouper habitats. Though Grouper habitats usually share one thing in common, holes or caves of some sort to hide in. But, the Yellowfin Grouper in the deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico is not so lucky and has nowhere to hide living amongst a mud buttom.
Most all Groupers are excellent table fare and the best are probably: Nassau Grouper, Rock Hind (known as Strawberry Grouper), Scamp, and Gag Grouper.
Grouper will normally inhale their prey and will almost never "mouth" a bait. Just let a Grouper turn his head away from you so that the hook will find its way to the corner of the Grouper's mouth when the line comes tight.
Trolling, Jigging, and bait fishing (live or dead) are all productive methods for catching Grouper. I have been told by customers though, when the bite is on, the jigs will oiutperform bait as you will never have to reel up a line to renew a bait when Jigging for Grouper. If (when) you miss a Grouper on bait, you must wind up, hook on a new bait, and re-drop your line.
Be sure to try Tolling for Grouper the next time you are in the Bahamas by following the directions on our Tutorial page on
Trolling for Grouper. If you can spend a little time doing it, even while just hopping from one Island to another, you should find it relaxing, fun, and productive.
Good Luck!
