Hernando Beach Gulf Grouper Deep Sea fishing report

Hernando Beach Gulf Grouper Deep Sea fishing Report We are looking forward to April 1st. We are going wear out the Gag and Red grouper 25 miles or so from shore. The Gulf of Mexico is loaded with grouper and my clients will certainly enjoy ripping them out of the rocks. Currently we are catching and releasing big Gag and Red while fishing for Grunts and Sea Bass on the days we get out. We are catching large quantities of Grunts on chunks of squid on bottom rigs around the smaller reefs. The Sea Bass are abundant around the same types of structure and are generally suspended half way down from the surface. Sea Bass will also hit 1/4 Jigs of any color when dropped to the bottom and jigged up and down through the water column. Sea Bass have to be 10 inches long to keep. They are a great fish to eat. Sea Bass have solid white meat and have a delicate mild flavor. Fried, Broiled, Blacked, or Sushi you can't mess them up. Sea Bass are one of the best kept eating secrets in the Gulf of Mexico. Further off shore there are big Amberjacks (Aj's) to be caught. These fish have been untouched for a couple months since it is has been difficult to get out that far with the wind blowing so hard. Along with the Aj's are thousands of Red Snapper that are eagerly awaiting their time to die. We will assist them with a ride back to Hernando Beach once their season opens.
