| All the good grouper fishing is east of PC. Here is Saturday's trip. The Gulf Council is right!! There are no Gags left. I had to drop the anchor all of one time to catch these.

Inn Deep (2/5/2008)
Holy Crap!!! We'd love to catch grouper like that around pensacola in less than 100'. Were you serious about the 70'?? Hell of a catch!!Nice haul of grouper right there. Most of the dives we have dove recently have been in 100' or less when we have been shooting them and seeing them. They are there, but the ones out of Pensacola, seem to have a worse case of lock jaw for you fishermen.

| So that is what a grouper looks like. I have a friend that fishes out of Carrabelle. He has been slaying the grouper. Are you fishing out of Panama city or a port east of there. It is interesting that our close in live bottom does not have any grouper. A question for the divers that are shooting the grouper, are you getting them off of wrecks or live bottom?

But like Fender said, all I have shot this year have been around structure/wrecks. http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic53733-39-1.aspx.

| The grouper fishing has always been better down that way. I've always wanted to go to Carrabelle or Mexico City grouper fishing. All of my big grouper (30#+) out of pensacola have come out of 180'-300' range (hook&line).

| The difference is the bottom structure. These fish came off subtle, live bottom (Limestone and Seafans/coral). That kind of structure just isnt as prevelant to the west....too sandy. You have to catch the bite perfectly to catch grouper off artificial stuff (but it will produce for divers). Too much bait and too many places to hide on artificial. Fishing live bottom areas will nearly always produce a consistent bite if you are keeping up with the movement of the gags.

| Hence why we must travel to deeper water were the majority of our live bottom is located to get into a steady grouper bite.
