Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report
Hernando Beach
05 December 2008
In between cold fronts the water temperature has gone up to 67 degrees and the Grouper fishing is outstanding. With perfect water conditions come spectacular fishing trips. Many anglers this week enjoyed limits of Gag Grouper. Some fish were in excess of 15 pounds. A slow approach has been the trick to make the Grouper bite. Just leave the bait on the bottom and do not move it. Unbelievable, but true this really works. Best baits are still Northern Mackerel , Grunt heads, and chunks of Mullet.
Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast: Grouper season is at its peak. There is great fishing now!
Sea ya on the water

Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report
Hernando Beach
15 Nov 2008
This week has been the easy Grouper fishing we have been waiting for. Lots of keeper size GAG Grouper in all depths of water. We prefer the shallow waters closer to home that provide us more fishing time and less fuel expense. Even if you are not a meat hunter you can enjoy the tough fight a big grouper dishes out. In the shallow depths a fight to the surface is expected with line ripping lunges towards the structure on the bottom. Pretty exciting stuff! Most GagZillas continue to break lines and leaders on the rocks below. This line busting experience is what makes most anglers want to go back out and try again.
Best baits are still Threadfin Herring , Grunt heads, and chunks of Boston Mackerel.
Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast: Grouper season is almost at its peak. There will be great fishing in the near future for lots of Gag Grouper in close.
Sea ya on the water, book a trip soon!

Hernando Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report
Hernando Beach
3 Nov 2008
Like all previous reports I will explain to the fishing community; Grouper fishing is very good here in the Hernando Beach area. We are catching GAG Groupers, Red Groupers, Grunts, Mangrove Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel. The water temperature is a perfect 73 degrees, perfect for bigger Grouper. Dead Threadfin Herring are still the best bait even though other baits will work. The water clarity is improving so live bait will begin to work more often than not. Preferred method is dead bait, 4 foot long leaders, and please match the circle hook size in proportion to the size bait you are using.

Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast:
Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast: More King fish will be in the area after the next cold front passes. Larger Gag Grouper will be pushed down also as the water temperature continues to drop. Fish slower and chum a little to get the Grouper bite going.

Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report
Hernando Beach
24 October 2008
Grouper fishing is still very good, we have been catching allot of small Red and Gag Groupers. Nonstop action each day, we consistently catch over a hundred fish that are released. At the end of the day we have enough keeper size Grouper to make any angler happy. Many Mangrove Snapper, and Grunts are caught each trip and are a welcome addition to any fish fry. The best baits are Threadfin Herring and live Pinfish. Water temperature is down to the mid 70's now, and the Grouper are much more active. We expect some outstanding Grouper action for the near future.
Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast: More King fish will be in the area after the next cold front passes. Larger Gag Grouper will be pushed down also as the water temperature continues to drop. Fish slower and chum a little to get the Grouper bite going.

I am renting a house in Indian Rocks August 16th-24th. Bringing my boat (not for offshore). Any suggestions for inshore fishing, certain inlets or hot spots? Should I bother bringing the fishing canoe for shallow water? I use it on the flats in mosquito lagoon. |
