Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report

30 Aug 2008

Grouper fishing is much better now! We are still catching plenty of Mangrove Snapper, Grunts, and other fish. It is warm out, and it is nice to fish in the shade, the "Gulf Grouper" has a roof. Escaping the direct rays of the sun makes a fun day fishing even more enjoyable.

Gustav will drive even more Grouper in our direction. Next week looks like a great week to catch more Grouper. Friday's fishing trip was outstanding. A dozen nice Gags and a few Red Grouper kept all anglers happy.

Hope to sea ya on the water soon.
