Gulf Grouper October fishing report from Hernando Beach Florida Gulf Grouper fishing Report 5 Oct 2007 The water is cooling off and the stone crab traps are being set right now. This combination of events will entice Groupers to move around from area to area. Schools of Gag Grouper are not an uncommon event but a part of their normal life. When you catch one Gag Grouper nine out of ten times you can bet there is another one swimming down there. With this in mind it is easy to locate Gags around large rock areas and reefs. With each approaching cold front there are a couple days of strong windy conditions. These events seem to bunch Groupers up were they can seek refuge from turbulent waters. So naturally when boating conditions improve anglers can go to their favorite rock pile and find it replenished with hungry Groupers. It may not be as easy as explained but it is true. Lately Gag Grouper have been cooperating in 20 to 25 feet of water. Frozen and live bait have both worked exceptionally well. There have been quit a few goliath groupers also. Mangrove Snapper are still an everyday occurrence with some Cobia and Kingfish. Good Luck fishing Capt Rick Rodriguez Guldfgrouper.com 727-992-9494
