Jan 2008 Gulf Grouper Report Gulf Grouper Deep Sea Fishing Report Jan 2008 One of the warmest winters in near history and the water temperature is in the low 70’s. After this cold front temperatures should go down a few degrees again to the high 60’s. After this weather passes through the Grouper fishing will be great. Look for the bigger ledges to hold the most Grouper Grunts, and Mangrove Snapper. We are still catching upwards of a hundred short Gag Groupers every trip. Non stop action is the norm when using dead Threadfin Herring. Some anglers have used live bait with marginal success. However if you want to catch the bigger Grouper try larger dead bait like Grunt and mullet heads. Good luck Capt Rick Rodriguez 727-992-9494 www.gulfgrouper.com
