Hernando Beach Gulf Grouper Deep Sea Fishing Report
Off-shore the Red and Gag Grouper fishing has been very good in all depths of water. Rock piles, ledges, and hard bottom areas are the places to look when off-shore. Mostly frozen Threadfin Herring has been used to catch these fish while anchored up. Additional, cut up Grunts especially the head portion has produced the largest Grouper on every trip. Be sure to check your leader and line before dropping a head down to the bottom. If there is a weak spot these Grouper will make sure it comes apart. There are still allot of Red Snapper being caught while Grouper fishing in 60 feet of water and beyond. Since the season is closed we have successfully release every single Red Snapper.
Around the wrecks Live pinfish have been working well for the Amberjacks and Mangrove Snapper. The Amberjacks have been larger than the 30 inch legal size. Many fish over 40 pounds and have been caught on conventional and spinning gear. Using a flat-line off the stern has produced plenty of Spanish Mackerel and some Kingfish in 40 feet of water and beyond. Live bait like Blue Runners work well when the tide is moving fast enough to keep the bait in place.
Fishing is always very good off Hernando Beach; However we are looking forward to the fall run of Gag Grouper in our shallow water areas. The Stone crab traps are out and the Grouper fishing will only get easier as the water cools down with each approaching cold front. Look for the action to really pick up when the water temperature gets down to the mid 70's.
