Scamp groupers are biting well while out deep. They love the threadfins, smaller to medium pinfish, and the slow pitch jigs.

Gag grouper fishing has been going well for us lately and were expecting that will only get better as we move through September with spits of slower periods depending on our depths fished.

Scamp grouper are also cooperating well with the last trip hauling in a solid number of big scamp grouper on the average sized pinfish, slow pitch jigs and dead threadfin. We are seeing some quality scamp out there right now and expect them to remain constant through the coming weeks.

Red grouper closure was recently announced too. This is a quota closure, meaning that the quota for red grouper is projected to be met. Meaning that we are catching a lot of fish and the fishery is healthier.
