Hogfish were tougher this week for us near shore too with bumpy conditions and stirred up waters it made it tough to target those guys. However, we did catch a few around the 40-60ft range. However even that area was stirred up from the rough conditions which made it tricky.
Red grouper action is going extremely well for us in the deeper offshore waters. We are seeing some really fat red grouper while fishing 150-200ft of water.
The red grouper bite was super-hot for us this past week as we transitioned from gag grouper fishing to the red grouper. This past week on our 12 hour extreme trip this past Wednesday we caught a boat limit of keeper red grouper that means everyone on board completely limited out on keeper red grouper.
Gag grouper ending offshore is sad, but we are super pumped to move deeper and target those fat red grouper around 150-250ft of water with some monster scamp grouper, big vermillions, plentiful mangroves, big porgies, and more stacked up with them. Plus, we have seen some pelagic action too!
Hogfish action has been steady for us too near shore, the big weather kept us off the water for a few days but were confident the backside of this thing will help to re concentrate and refresh our near shore hogfish population.
When targeting hogfish, the first-time angler has just as much a chance as the experienced angler even if they aren’t completely tackled down and really working for them.
Shrimpy’s is like a New Orleans fusion seafood place in southern treasure island, such great shrimp bisque and unique crab/shrimp cakes.
We use three methods that really help us to target the hogfish; either the knocker rig, jig head method or the ball jig approach. With the knocker rig, some will even add 4-5 of the smaller red beads between…
