Fisheries biologist and law makers have incorrect data. Grouper fishing has never been better. We are catching Grouper all day, everyday; some fish bigger than other but all are fun to catch.
It is a shame that we have a catch and release program designed to assist only the commercial fishing industry from 15 Feb to March 15th. There are more Grouper being caught on the Gulf Grouper charter boat than ever caught in previous years. We are still working to do the best job possible like before. There is simply more fish at each fishing spot. We are catching and keeping Groupers in State waters when the conditions are favorable Most trips require going out further where we must catch and release Grouper. At the end of a day we still have plenty of Grunts, Sea Bass, and Mangrove Snapper to eat. Don’t hesitate to have fun fishing just because of some #@$%* made up some bad rules to follow. Call me for more details.
Sea ya on the water,
